NR-409

Notes: This Belgian antipersonnel mine is employed by some NATO countries as well as Iraq and several African nations. It is a minimal metal mine (detecting tasks are one level more difficult), and has an unusually low profile, and is usually colored green or sand brown. The mine cannot be disarmed, since the detonator is sealed inside the body, but is susceptible to overpressure and may detonate if an explosive charge is detonated nearby (25% likely per concussion dice value of the blast at that range). 8 kg of pressure on the mine are enough to detonate it.

NR-413

Notes: This is a Belgian stake-type antipersonnel mine. It may only be detonated by a tripwire. The mine is usually detected by a visual inspection of the area. It is easily disarmed, but may be detonated by as little as 2 kilograms of pressure on the tripwire. It is unaffected by overpressure, and only a direct hit by an explosive or small arms fire will detonate it. This mine is used in small numbers by Belgium and in large numbers by Rwanda.

PRB M-3

Notes: This Belgian antitank mine is large and made mostly of plastic (detection attempts are two levels harder). It has two extra fuze wells to allow for booby trapping. The M-3 is waterproof and may be used on shores or other shallow waters. If not booby trapped, the mine is easily disarmed, and it is susceptible to overpressure (25% chance per concussion dice of damage in the area of the mine to cause a sympathetic detonation). 250 kg of pressure is required to detonate the mine. This mine is in use by some NATO countries, as well as Iraq and several African nations.

PRB M-35

Notes: This is a Belgian plastic antipersonnel mine of the toepopper variety. It affects only the person triggering it, and affects only the legs. Detection attempts against this mine are two levels harder. The mine is easily disarmed, and is susceptible to overpressure (25% chance of detonating per concussion dice applied over it). It is used by NATO and by several African nations. 9 kg of pressure is required to detonate the mine.

PRB M-966

Notes: This Belgian metallic mine is a bounding antipersonnel mine. When the mine detonates, a grenade ball is thrown into the air, detonating at head height, and double the normal fragments are directed into the victims' chest and head areas. The warhead is that of a 60mm mortar (HE shell). 4.5 kg of pressure is required to trip the mine; alternatively, a tripwire can be used, and 1 kg of pressure on the wire is required to detonate. The mine may be disarmed at normal chances, but is unaffected affected by overpressure. This mine is in use by NATO and Namibia.
