Ok, the current problem with landmines, as I see it, is that as soon as a landmine blows up, it leaves a nicely blackened spot on the ground that tells the victim's comrades (your enemies) that it is now safe to walk there.
So I propose a new mine dispensing system similar to a Pez dispenser: as
soon
as one mine is detonated, a new one is immediately popped into the now-vacant spot. Or, the spring mecahnism could be cocked by the blowback of the top mine detonating, like the reloading action of a gun. I'm not sure which would be the more practical version, be the idea remains the same.

Very clever, but I can't bun an idea for killing people. |
|
|
Shouldn't this be in the "evil" section? |
|
|
This idea is not intended to be used in temporary campaigns for quick kills (although I realize that the inventor's intentions usually have little bearing on a weapon's use). I envision this for use as a purely defensive weapon used at permanent installations like Fort Knox, or at embassies overseas to prevent local extremists from taking people hostage, which has happened several times in the past. |

//as soon as a landmine blows up, it leaves a nicely blackened spot on the ground// This still does that. |
|
|
Yes, this still does that. However, now that blackened spot has a fresh mine in it that an unsuspecting intruder will step on. |
|
|
Reasonably certain there are already mines out there that redistribute themselves to circumvent this very problem. |
|
|
Seems like the little hinged heads would give away their positions. |
|
|
Would the mines come in different colours too? |
|
|
I think you've got it backwards. Embed giant Pez dispensers in disputed terrortories and when the other (that is, bad) guys are comatose from sugar, you've got 'em. |
|
|
I thought that this might be a sentencing alternative to the salt mines. |

Psych warfare: Pez mimes dispenser Let's see you try to get out of *this* box. |

|
So the next time I am walking through the woods in Laos and see a big plastic Bugs Bunny Head on the ground, I WONT TOUCH IT! |
|
|
Wouldn't this simply destroy the mine underneath it? Or can you shape the charge that well? |
