Spring loaded land mines use a small detonation to engage a large spring that would fling enemies high enough into the air that the landing would kill them.

Later on when the war is over, you don't feel to guilty killing soccer kids. Minesweepers come in with parachutes and dismantle your whole field. You could even charge spectators and recover some of your war expense funds.
