German Schrapnellmine (S-mine) AKA "Bouncing Betty" Anti-Personnel Land Mine

The German S-mine (Schrapnellmine in German), also known as the Bouncing Betty, is the best-known version of a class of mines known as bounding mines. When triggered, these mines launch into the air and then detonate at about waist height. The explosion projects a lethal shower of steel balls and steel fragments in all directions. The S-mine was an anti-personnel landmine developed by Germany in the 1930s and used extensively by German forces during World War II. It was designed to be used in open areas to attack unshielded infantry. Two versions were produced, designated by the year of their first production: the SMi-35 and SMi-44. There are only minor differences between the two models.

The S-mine entered production in 1935 and served as a key part of the defensive strategy of the Third Reich. Until production ceased with the defeat of Germany in 1945, Germany produced over 1.93 million S-mines.[2] These mines were responsible for inflicting heavy casualties and slowing, or even repelling, drives into German-held territory throughout the war. The design was lethal, successful and much imitated and remains one of the definitive weapons of World War II.

Ja aber hätten diese klugen Köpfe nicht etwas erfinden können das Leben rettet anstatt zu nehmen.

Die Menschen sind nur Meister darin so viel wie möglich zu vernichten auf eine sehr komplexe art. Und in allen anderen Lebenswichtigen berreichen absolut primitiv.

@QuarentineExperts According to Tmartn, if you have the Trophy System next to you, and a Betty is thrown at you, it will detonate a safe distance from you, keeping you safe. If you did the same thing, but with a planted Betty, you're fucked.
