Saw too much movies where people step on mines and they don’t explode if the foot stay on. Do real mines work this way?
In: Engineering
They do not work that way. Pressure sensitive mines explode when stepped on. Instantly.
Some mines do have “do not explode instantly” features, but typically these are Anti-tamper devices, vehicle mines designed for convoy ambushes or smart mines triggered by some combination of vibrations, movement and sound (because you don’t want these mines to blow up just because a deer passed by).
