This incomplete, untitled instructional film (main title is missing on our print) was presented by the U.S. Army (circa 1950s) shows a G.I. setting up various models of American-made military-grade landmines. The models shown were used post- WWII and throughout the Cold War. The film actually begins with images of what appears to be an M6 (or possibly an M15) mine, a heavy, circular anti-tank mine that was similar to the German Tellermine 42.
Close-up of M6 or M15 landmine in soil, being marked for removal (0:09). This will normally be done by blowing it up in place or moving it with a long rope. Disarming the mine: hand turns dial on top of the landmine (0:40). A US Army soldier puts safety pin to the M6 landmine and lifts it out of its hole (0:51). Soldier sets up M14 anti-personnel anti-personnel blast mine (1:20). Soldier buries and disguises the M14 (3:45). Soldier places a safety pin around the indicator arrow to prevent premature explosion (4:16). Illustration of how buried M14 Landmine functions (5:18). Soldier sets up M16 Landmine (5:49). Illustration of explosion radius of the M16 (7:55).
A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets. The use of landmines is controversial because of their potential and indiscriminate weapons. They can remain dangerous many years after a conflict has ended and pose a threat to civilian safety. During the Cold War the United States used the M6 anti tank mine and trip-wire operated bounding antipersonnel mines such as the M2 and M16 which are some of the explosives featured in this instructional film.
The M6 landmine debuted in WWII, where it was deployed against German heavy tanks. The mine was an upgrade of the M1, which proved incapable of destroying the tracks of German armor. It was superseded by the M15 mine.
The M14 mine "Toepopper" is a small anti-personnel landmine first deployed by the United States circa 1955.
The M16 mine is a United States-made bounding anti-personnel mine which was produced in the millions of units, starting in the early 1950s. It was based on a WWII German design.

I used to have a neighbor across the street that whenever he
read instructions, he always held them in his hand at arms
length & hollered as he read the instructions out loud. One
day, I was over visiting him in his garage when he began to
do this. I asked him why he did such a thing. He said it was
a habit he was taught in the Army. He had been an explosives
removal engineer in Vietnam.
!
"Remember, you won't get a second chance to find that booby trap." Some VERY sage advice right there!!
9:56 when you cut the wrong wire
Thank you. I was able to clear out most of the back yard now minus a few types not covered in this video 🤗
Watch out, Bouncing Betty's a bitch.
The neighbor's cat should be able to take care of the rest.
How may I help ?
@@brigpilgrim
Meow meow.... BOOM!!!
Now my yard smells like p*ssy
cat
I thought he was about to disarm an M14 mine. Firstly, strike the mine with a 14lb sledgehammer. There is now nothing else to do.
But please do be aware that the sledgehammer can travel up to 150yds at great speed.
Are we still seriously using mines (i.e., kid killers)? I figured the Geneva Convention would’ve long since outlawed the “bouncing betty,” “toe-popper,” “butterfly,” and all other mines around the same time this film was produced.
After two decades of US and European assistance in mine cleanup funds and tools, Cambodia has reduced the number of Pol Pot’s hidden mines to a meager few several million.
The world’s shortest book?“Hiking in Cambodia.”
What a shame.
LOL! 100% what I thought too.
So do me
oh you must be kin to major dumbasski the first polish astronaut!!! you know the idiot that went into a powder magazine with a burning torch for light!!! currently in orbit of pluto i believe!!!
ending was unsettling.
You ain’t kidding!
That abrupted end was not comforting I must say.
When the sledgehammer came out I got scared but nothing prepared me for the end
If you hear a bamb going off it means your going to have a out of body experience Lol
I knew these mine designs were old when I first learned how to work with them in 1989, but I had no idea they had changed so little from their initial versions.
if ain't broke don;t monkey with it!!!
"...cut all slack tripwi..."
💥💥💥💥BOOOOM💥💥💥💥
It's the Grenade under the mine that you need to worry about.
Having a couple of paper clips in your kit is always a good idea.
Don't start the job, unless you have time to finish the job.
pins out of used grenades work too!!!
@Evan Hodge Stop posting crap.
It'd be pure art to set about 20 self-propelled lawnmowers in random directions through a minefield.
I was thinking a paint striping rig. It would leave a safe trail.
I never knew how they disarm and arm land mines until I watched this episode
gonna come in handy.
@@ommitedommited154 hi Ryan Lastnameommited wow Ryan say you have long enough last name for two guy's :-D and you crack me up this training film will come in handy lol :-D ha ha hey you never know two words one these are out dated mines and two forget the B.S. you see in movie's real life when someone steps on landmine there's no holding you're foot down while you or someone else resets it a landmine go's off the minute you step on it so you would have to find it first and one more thing most metal detectors don't work on some of the newer landmine's well have a great night and weekend Ryan Lastnameommited :-)
you'll probably blow you hand of using tatp then at lest we don't have to worry about people believe you when you say "i can disarm landmines."
harshness is necessary. people are clever and when they hate you[for good reason] they put in the effort.
i'm just thinking of this 50gredades secured to a board being and launched with tnt via remote detonator. towards incoming helicopters.
The U.S. Army has a disposable/ expendable tool designed specifically for this
type of work.........The M-1 A-1 Second Lt.
I was thinking the lowest ranking sapper, but your right🤣
Flash backs of Echo1-2
Fort L Wood 77-78.
You can also double up mines that are damaged with a working mine . Or use the defective mine as a deterrent or as a decoy that can hold the enemy in one area for a period that of time to initiate an ambush and whatever else to help your mission be successful.
@Evan Hodge keep crushing that keyboard....
Either you do it right the first time, or suddenly it’s not your problem anymore
Turn the mine upside down and tap it. Uh, no. I don’t think I will…
the fuse was not in the mine at that point so there was nothing to detonate the mine
@@jerrymiller9039 Yeah, but it was still funny. Very hard to detonate a secondary explosive without an initiator.
I didn’t know the bomb stuff was that stable. Good to know. Still gonna pass on the whole tap the explosive landmine with a box wrench part though.
More scary to work with than I ever thought, but I'm sure you get used to it!
Yes, you get used to it. You will after some time learn to love your work.
Excellent old training video .
EOD are beasts
I think of Princess Diana!
The mine with the trip wires standing up, looks similar to a German WW2 Bouncing Betty, my guess is that many of these mines were based on German WW2 types.
It ended early, now I don't know what to do to that last mine! 😱
Ever wonder why EOD personnel have bad livers?
Lol watch the ending everybody, he blows up
Basic EOD mine instruction. Now the Mk 346 long delay fuze is a little more tricky.
“Then cut all attached trip wires and” video ends 😱😱😱
That last second of video... 😆
Absolutely terrifying
Wait.. at the end.. did he died?
War really is Hell:
"The M16 anti-personnel mine is dangerous within a radius of 150 yards, and should be disarmed carefully when found."
So get right up on top of it, put some "smooth wire" into the upper positive safety pin hole and say your prayers.
Those are some nasty tools of war. Too bad we didn't get the entire film, because as horrible as mines are, I found it interesting. But when he said to hit the bottom I cried out NO!!! DON'T DO IT!!! Just seemed like a real bad idea to me. Oh and the nice name: "anti-personnel mines" Anti-personnel? I guess it is accurate.
Is the narration read by Dick Van Dyke?
Those toe poppers are still in effect in the back side of South Korea.
Not a job for the nervous...
I'd say throwing a rock at it from a distance and hoping for the best is the technique I'd implore.
Hell of a place to cut off lmao.
anyone know where someone can gt some? got a sticky fingered trespasser problem and the cops won;t do shit!!!
Well I was just wondering if at the end of this video where the soldier cut trip wire to disarm if he blew himself up cause video just ended and went to title screen....wtf
Well land mines are meant to be illegal now by certain countries that signed a bill saying they will never use them
The sudden end of the film is the reason you check for booby traps on the tripwire I'm guessing
Abrupt final 💀
Nerves of steel they must have had eh
That would be a big hell no from me
Somebody in the future around the world will be saying Hay Google how do I get off mine safely.
Narrator talking like you're changing a tire, me watching all puckered...
I don't think Timmy Trainee made it through the whole video.
Watch closely, im only going to show you this once!
When you want to like because it's amazing but the links are 420
Seams that know one is Currently Making New U.S. Military Training Movies anymore which is truly Horrible !!!
All the current training videos are classified
I was in the Army in the early 1980's and me and a small crew made training videos then, on 3/4" video tape. We got the coveted 1" system right before I was transfered so I never got to use that $20,000 camera in the field. Bummer. It was fun though. Most of the time anyway.
The world would be a better place without mines. Today, sensors could replace them.
Guy blow up he ,messed up an got killed
Do not try this at home Lol
If ye DEAL ËH ŴÎÑKß5 lol 😆 and TRULLY they stay in place till we all pass on ËH ŴÎÑKß5 lol but this would only be a precaution because well trust works both WAYS ËH lol 😆 ŴÎÑKß5
