I have some knowledge.Step 1: Aknowledge that hell yes that is a freaking landmine there in your path. Step 2: Turn around with your back towards the freaking landmine. Step 3: Walk/run back the way you came making sure to keep your eyes peeled for more freaking landmines. Step 4: If contact with another freaking landmine is made repeat steps 1-3. Step 5: Get over the A-Gland rush induced by contact with the freaking landmine. Work? :D 6 out of 9 found this valuable. Do you? |

If you were far enough away, could you shoot it?

Are you kidding? A stationary target that doesn't shoot back? Remember you you are talking to Dr. quarter killer, kid.

In the vast majority of cases, both anti-personnel and anti-tank mines are designed ot be used while camouflaged or buried. Because it would be retarded to just have it laying in the open. If they're a trap or offensive weapon, they will be used as such. I'm not even going to bring up the fact of how little they are used in modern warfare and how rare they are in arms rooms. In the United States, if you're running into landmines, it's likely FASCAM of one form or another, an artillery-deployed mine system. Both forms deploy anti-tampering wires and a number of other anti-disturbance mechanisms and are armed on impact. If you're running into FASCAM, the chance of you disarming or detonating it safely is nil. In fact, with automatic timed detonation (safety), you have no clue when they'll blow up of their own accord. AP FASCAM is effective to a wider range than you can hit it, and AT FASCAM even moreso. And considering the situations it is dictated to be used in, I wouldn't WANT to be on the other side, because it's some ****** up **** they were trying to stop.

"Are you kidding? A stationary target that doesn't shoot back? Remember you you are talking to Dr. quarter killer, kid."you understand that most land mines are shrapnel explosives right? just trying to maybe save your life from something you probably shouldnt try buddy 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

I'm not going to use any internet guide, especially one on a zombie forum... To disarm high explosive devices...

"If you were far enough away, could you shoot it?"It wouldn't do anything to most mines. Even if it did, you'd probably underestimate the explosive force and get killed by the shrapnel anyway. I mean, the military uses explosives and bulldozers to clear out mines, and modern designs have special fuses to avoid those mechanisms, too. So what are your chances of doing anything to a mine with small arms? Do you find this valuable? |

"I have some knowledge.I wanted to quote this for good measure. I have 3 questions to add to this. 1. Why would you ever be in a situation where you'd need to know how to disarm a landmine? 2. Why would anyone on this site know how to disarm a landmine, especially considering the variety of landmines produced? 3. Why would they tell you? I see that you are in the New Zealand Army reserves. If you want to learn how to disarm a landmine, go EOD. DO NOT try to learn how to build explosives or disarm them off the internet. Seriously. Do you find this valuable? |

"EOD guys are usually bat-sh!t crazy anyway."Well you'd have to be to do their job, John! Bat **** crazy with a surgeon's steady hands. I have seen them in action firsthand when I was in Iraq. We almost ran over a double-stacked AT mine when I was on a convoy back to base. I watched an EOD guy carry an AT mine about 20 yards off the road to blow it up. Balls. Like serious cojones. I would have been dead and half my crew killed if we hit that. That was sobering when I started to think about it. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I know how to disarm a land mine.... step on it! That'll make it safe! Then press "Ctrl-Alt-Delete", then kill and reboot your game of COD or Fallout.Realistically speaking, I doubt you'll ever go where there are active landmines. If you have found yourself in a mine field, break a leg, good luck and nice knowing you. Crawl carefully. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

ok for starters im glad to see that most of the people here have a good head on their shoulders. modern warfare being what it is, there is rarely a time you will see landmines employedi n a static defense and even if they are i can promise you that you probably will have an MG overlooking it. so just avoid it all costs,

As others have mentioned, I don't think that using the internet as a credible source of information concerning explosives (either making or disarming) is a good idea. In fact, it doesn't even live in the same zip code as a good idea.With that said though, I would have to disagree with the assertion that survivors aren't likely to encounter them in a Post Z-Day situation. As a fall back measure of last resort, wouldn't most military forces deploy anti-personnel mines in a last ditch effort to slow advancing hordes of undead while they retreated? Especially in a situation where a given area was about to be, or had already been, overrun and they just wanted to disperse mines in the path of the hordes so that they might be slowed while an evacuation took place. All the more so if shooting them hadn't worked, and they did not have a clear understanding of what would or would not stop a Zed. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"How to,for anyone willing to share the knowledge with others."Are you serious? Try to get a 8 digit grid on the mine the best you can without getting near it but using a military map. Move you yourself and your team 300 meters from the area. Getting behind something sturdy is good too. Call to "higher" with a UXO report, unexploded ordinance. EOD will be there four hours later. This information can be found on Google.com so I am not releasing anything that I shouldn't be. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I still state that you will not be likely to run into them. There are few to no hand-emplaced mines in the US arsenal, and the clearance of troops/friendlies area for FASCAM is massive. Mines are a fairly ineffective means of combat, and the military knows this. We only use them in Denial Of Area styled attacks, which are extremely few and far between. Those mines have an automatic self-detonation so that they are not sitting there for years and years so some little kid gets blown up. They also deploy anti-tampering measures.
