M26
Antipersonnel Mine

Description
The M26 is a US designed bounding fragmentation mine. The dual fuze can operate either by pressure of tripwire. When the fuze is functioned, a charge at the bottom of the mine projects a fragentation assembly into the aire and starts a pyrotechnic delay element. The delay element ignites the main charge of the assembly, bursting the warhead.
