M16 TRAINING LANDMINE

 A central fuze well on the top of the mine is normally fitted with a pronged M605 pressure/tension (tripwire) fuze. Sufficient pressure on the prongs or tension on an attached tripwire causes the release of a striker. The freed striker is forced into a percussion cap which ignites a short pyrotechnic delay. The purpose of this delay is to allow the victim to move off the top of the mine, to prevent its upward movement from being blocked. Once the delay has burned through, a 4.5-gram black powder charge is ignited, which launches the inner iron body of the mine up into the air (leaving behind the steel outer sleeve). The charge also ignites a second pair of pyrotechnic delays. 

The mine rises to a height of 0.3 to 1.7 meters before one or both of the pyrotechnic delays detonates the main charge of the mine, which sprays high-speed metal fragments 360° around the point of detonation. These metal fragments have an expected casualty radius of 27 meters for the M16 and M16A1 mines, and out to 30 meters for the M16A2 mine. 

The present invention relates to a mock landmine for landmine detection training. More specifically, the present invention allows a user, when being trained to detect landmines of a non-metallic material, to stably conduct landmine detection training using the mock landmine having the same appearance and structure as a real landmine. At the same time, by providing a measurement environment similar to a real landmine, user′s training effect can be increased. The mock landmine for landmine detection training includes: non-metallic bodies (20, 30, 40, 50, 60); and mock fuses (223, 32, 45, 55, 65).
