If so, the method of detonation would be a pressure sensitive switch or trigger. How susceptible to fire would it be? hard to say, depends. If a mine is c4, it won't detonate from burning, the primer must fire. If I were a conscientious mine manufacturer, I wouldn't want heat to cause that problem, as you could have mines detonate when you didn't want them to, so you'd manufacture the switch mechanisms out of metal and a very stable insulator. If you made your switch contacts out of plastic, it would degrade faster and give false triggers. This all gives me an idea for a command detonated minelayer weapon suggestion, if it hasn't already been done. You could mine a pass, wait for the pursuing vehicles to get there then blow the mines on command. WHEEEEE!!! Fun!

*sam* Posted May 18, 2010, 6:26 pm	Er.. no. There could be a different type of weapon created.

HAR_Flattire Posted May 18, 2010, 9:41 pm	Timed delay could be interesting. How about being able to plant some C4 or other explosive device on a car where the bad guys are unconscious and blow it up when they start moving again?
