Wondering what sort of booby-traps are employed by SAF? Below
are a few which i read about,
(1)Read and watched movies of Vietnam War ear about how they
actually rigged a thin fine piece of wire across a doorway to a
grenade's safety pin and when some unsuspecting trooper storming
the place accidentally trips across the wire, he would be actually
pulling out the pin, and thus arming the grenade, and in a few
seconds, it will explode killing and maiming those withing the
area.
(2)Burying a grenade halfway below soft sand and placing an
object,such as a map case, or a rifle over the arming lever and
then burying it back,before pulling the safety pin out.And if any
enemy trooper who fancies what he sees,reaches for the item and
lifts it,the lever will be released and KA-BOOM!Killing and maiming
again.
(3)Placing a claymore mine under debris near a doorway, when the
assault team stacks up and is ready to move in, the claymore is
detonated,sending steel ball bearings into the projected area
killing and maiming again.
(4)Pungi pits most used by VC and NVA during VietWar, consisting of
specially constructed pits which are filled with sharpened bamboo
spears. The top of the pit is covered with camouflauged so as to
blend with the ground. Any unsuspecting trooper who falls into the
pit will instantly be SATAY. The bamboo spears are sometimes
smeared with faeces to make the injury infected.
thats all i know of, do feel free to share more!Thanks!
