airsoft landmine

this is a really cool tripwire activated non-pyrotechnic (thus producing no dangerous emissions from fireworks) booby trap using the potential energy from a spring, AKA a mouse trap. it's pretty cool, and gets a real even spread of about 5-10 feet in front of the trap, depending on the type of ammunition.
(I would recommend airsoft bb's.

Step 1: Obtain materials

The materials you will need for this trap will be:
Mouse trap
cereal box cardboard
Duct tape
masking tape
electrical tape
more tape
string (i used yarn)
Fishing string
pencil
cardboard tube or something of the sort

Tools:
power drill

you could also put a nail in each corner and then stab it into the ground(unless you are in a building!)

[mmme99]

this is a claymore

[austinpowerzzzzz]

how do you get the trip wire on it and how does it work? but sweer idea man. im totaly using this. like im wanting to build a tree house, and if my friends comeover to play airsoft i would put one of thesse infront of the ladder if they tried to get in. xD dang man. this is sweet!

[ladieslilman98]

well its ok i guess

[airsoftbeast96]

Dude yours is SO comlicated. Mine is SO EASY!

[XWXAXDXEX]

so, its pretty much a bb catapult?

[Colonel88]

You do know you put up 2 IDENTICAL Instructables with different titles?

[daelans]

i have an idea for a remote for this. take a zipzap (if you got one of those relics left) and wrap the fishing line around one of the tires, then when you want to trip it, try to drive forward, then it winds up the line and boom. but to anchor the zipzap is another problem, take the zipzap and tape or tie or rubber band it upside down to something heavy like a brik or a full altoid tin, full of something not altoids.

[BillyTheGoat]

you could pull off the wheels and tie it around the axel.

[daelans]

well, i take it you havent used a zipzap. the axel dissapears into the side of the car and there like an inch long so theres like no room to tie it, plus the rubber of the tire will grip better.

[tomcat955]

thats a tripmine not a land mine land mines you step on

[daelans]

hahaha lolz, you think if you step on this it wont splode?

[Cristian1337]

I'm guessing you have never stepped on a mousetrap. If you step on it, you will be holding down the bars down and it wont trip. You will also probobly realized you stepped on it and disengage it

[bennor3]

i just built one, can't wait to try it out tommarrow on my guinea pig ahem, i mean my neaghbor LOLZ

[daelans]

lol

[daelans]

if you want to use this in an airsoft wat, just jame tent stakes through the holes.

[hobzez]

so... how bout fps? i made one but i havnt used it yet

[aseaheru]

how do you set off?

[mash4077]

step on it and i'll tell ya ;)

[Zippy_Pyromaniac]

I independently made something similar to this, spraypainted it camo. Works like a charm

I made one very similar to this. I didn't use this guide, but It is close.

[oki_the_sniper]

you can paint it with flat or camo color to increase it's effectiveness

[vernors]

cool. can you add maare detailand/or pictures on how to load it.

[use606]

Ive been using these for years and it works better if you make a pouch out off tape. but ive designed a realy good grenade coming soon.

[the mechanical engineer]

i can try. just load it like a regular mouse trap and pour bb's in the box thingy.

[jakee117]

that is a good idea!

[the mechanical engineer]

thanks. its a good close range mine or really good for scaring youre parents or siblings when they get up to go to the bathroom at night

[jakee117]
