A tripwire is a passive triggering mechanism. Typically, a wire or cord is attached to a device for detecting or reacting to physical movement. Military applications
The Claymore can also be activated by a booby-trap tripwire firing system for use in area denial operations. The Claymore fires steel balls out to about 100 m (110 yd) within a 60° arc in front of the device. It is used primarily in ambushes and as an anti-infiltration device against enemy infantry. It is also used against unarmored vehicles.
It involves a metal detector, prodding instrument and tripwire feeler. [36] Deminers clear an area of vegetation and then divide it into lanes. A deminer advances along a lane, swinging a metal detector close to the ground. When metal is detected, the deminer prods the object with a stick or stainless steel probe to determine whether it is a mine.
A tripwire-triggered pipe bomb mock-up used to train US military service personnel. A pipe bomb is an improvised explosive device (IED) that uses a tightly sealed section of pipe filled with an explosive material.
M86 Pursuit Deterrent Munition: tripwire triggered bounding mine that automatically deploys its own tripwires. It is intended to be dropped by special forces when evading a pursuing enemy. Post-War, Russian anti-personnel mines. PFM-1 (butterfly mine, NATO: Blue Parrot), modern. POMZ: tripwire triggered, stake-mine.
The sniper rifle is the primary weapon throughout the game, though additional side arms (submachine guns and pistols) can be used depending on the situation. In addition to hand grenades, the player can also deploy tripwire booby traps, land mines and dynamite. The player can also shoot the enemies' own grenades to trigger an explosion.
The S-mine was normally triggered by a three-pronged pressure fuse, but the German army also provided a special tripwire adapter. The steel tube that held the fuse was threaded to accept any standard German ignition or trigger, allowing the sensor to be removed and the mine to be deliberately triggered by a human operator. [1]
The mines can be activated by a variety of fuzes, including electronic fuzes or command initiation, although they are most commonly fitted with an MUV booby trap switch which is activated by a tripwire.
