DNG Giant Shotgun

Notes: This is a huge directional mine, which is primarily meant to kill personnel, but has some value against barbed wire and light armored vehicles. The mine is over 300mm in diameter, and fires 9mm steel balls at considerable force. The cone of steel balls is only 2 meters across at 50 meters, and so the blast is very concentrated. This mine is also used to clear dense foliage, and can clear concertina barbed wire coils 5 deep and two high. The Giant Shotgun can be detonated by tripwire or electrical command detonation. The Giant Shotgun can be easily defused, but is unaffected by overpressure (except to possibly knock it over). This mine is manufactured by Austria.

DNG Off-Route

Notes: This is an Austrian off-route antitank mine. A sensor is placed across the road up to 50 meters away, and the mine can be set to differentiate between light vehicles, light armored vehicles, and tanks. The mine can also be set to neutralize itself after a predetermined period of time. Hitting a vehicle with the DNG Off-Route is an Average: Grenade Launcher or Easy: Combat Engineer task. This mine can otherwise be neutralized only by destroying it, and is unaffected by overpressure. Note that its batteries burn out after 3 months of continuous operation.
