M19 mine

The M19 is a large square plastic cased United States anti-tank blast mine.

Intended to replace the M15 mine, the design dates from the mid-1960s and contains only two metal components: the copper detonator capsule and a stainless steel firing pin which weighs 2.86 grams.

It is found in Afghanistan, Angola, Chad, Chile, Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, South Korea, Lebanon, the Western Sahara, and Zambia.

The plastic casing of the mine is usually dark olive green, and has a large central fuze well.

When the switch is set to "A" and the safety clip is removed, the mine will detonate if a vehicle drives over it.
