Trip-wire activated mines are available at semi-reasonable prices on the internet from various paintball vendors. Forget trying to build your own, unless you are into that sort of thing as a hobby, as you can buy one a lot cheaper than you could fabricate on your own. Mines are usefull for perimeter defense and mechanical ambushes on trails or other avenues of approach.
Satchel charges are extemely usefull against bunkers, stationary armored vehicles, and other hardened targets. We use large diameter balloons filled with dry baking soda, then tie syringes (the type used for dispensing medicine orally to children) filled with a food coloring/vinegar mixture to the neck of the balloon. Stuff the balloon neck end up inside an old GI Buttpack and viola. To use the charge simply push the plunger of the syringe down, throw the buttback into the bunker and run like hell!
To really surprise your opponants, duct-tape a satchel charge to your chest underneath a coat, sneak into an enemy position and martyr yourself for the cause. Don't forget to shout "Allah Ahkbar!" for that extra, added touch of realism. |
