PMR-U mine

The PMR-U is a Yugoslavian anti-personnel stake mine. The mine was apparently not mass-produced, but built in small numbers at a number of different locations.

The mine has a small plastic main body with a large seam in the middle. Internally the mine has a 100 gram main charge around which a mixture of Plaster of Paris and steel fragments is poured to form a fragmentation liner. The mine uses a number of different commercial explosives, with the result that the mine becomes unstable over time.

The mine is found in Bosnia and Croatia.

gollark: PotatOS is all about user choice. If people want to do moronically stupid things, they can.

gollark: <@114827439070248961> Why?

gollark: So this is a mess. PotatOS is actually shipping a mildly different ECC library with a different curve because steamport provided the ECC code ages ago.

gollark: I mean, what do you expect to happen if you do something unsupported and which creates increasingly large problems each time you do it?

gollark: <@151391317740486657> Do you know what "unsupported" means? PotatOS is not designed to be used this way.
