April Fools Planning

[longbow]

I don't what to spend $100's for this joke.

I'm looking for realistic dummy land mines. Long story and EOD will not show up when they see it. The only ones that look good are expensive and used for EOD training.

Help

Like, claymore, bouncing betty, OZM-72, TM-57?

Here's one for a claymore with cardboard:

Have you checked for 3D models of the things you want? 3D printer and spray paint can do remarkable things for props/gags like this.

Have you checked for 3D models of the things you want? 3D printer and spray pay can't do remarkable things for props/gags like this.

This was going to be my comment. I looked on Thingiverse and did not see a lot. If I had a few really good pics and some rough dimensions I might be able draw something up and print it.

Mines get pricey when you fine the real inert and training mines.
I've come across a bunch out there by accident (online- not in my yard) I didn't save the sites because I won't ever need them. Here's a couple that I do remember and also, the airsoft world has actual working mines that blow pellets at you by hand trigger, trip wire and remote control. Ya, I know. Cool...
I might have seen the airsoft ones on random youtube searches. You know those nights where you start looking for some specific tool video and end up watching cat vids til 3am.

If expensive replicas aren't the answer then you might consider making some cheap reproductions. Some anti-personnel mines look a lot like a soup can with a detonator on top. Some of the anti-tank mines look a little like a dinner plate from the top. I think others have covered the claymore angle pretty well. Just a thought....
