Bouncing Betty’s

Yeah, Cory, a bit of dack, sit by the fire, oh, let's chuck on some of them mines.....see if they still work... 😜😜😜😜😜😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔Lol. Or, 'the fire's going out, Bill. Pass me that bloody tin, the one with all that flame thrower shit in it. That'll spark it up'. 🔥🔥😜😜😜😳😳😳Where you going Bill, and why are you running? 😂😂😂🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Yeah it shoots ball bearing outward. Crazy engineered anti personnel mine.

anti-balls mine

The “bouncing Betty’s” used black powder as a propellant - any water ingress and they become inert other than the fuse. That was because the Germans ran out of the materials to make more advanced explosives at the end of WW2.

@@allangibson2408 Do you want to try reading the manufacturers date or bet on all the contents being wetted😬😉 The battle fields of the First ww are still littered with devices that can and do go off....and as one writer has also stated even US civil war mines have exploded 😬

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 The Betty’s were not particularly water proof (even when new) as a function of their design. Modern chemical explosives are generally far more water resistant. A WW2 Teller mine would be seriously scary (particularly as they included anti disturbance fuse provisions as standard).

@@allangibson2408 and yet the Russian War Diggers aka Yuri Gagarin people eat them for breakfast.

Those mine could have gone off. He is very lucky. The Germans galvanized everything.

There have been instances of American Civil War mortars blowing up and injuring, &killing people in recent history. So yes,these mines could have some potential, if conditions are met.

@@necosimpson6225 Legacy mines and munitions are one of the greatest threats to life and limb over huge areas of the world, not just on land either .... these tend to stay put mostly sea mines are complete wild cards when they break loose. There is a ww2 munitions ship sunk just outside London...in the industrial zone .... Its so dangerous they have never attempted to remove the cargo or nutralize it.

Yeah, I was thinking when I was watching, is that land mines? Is he digging them up by hand... And yes he is, WTF.

Some of those mines had already been disassembled and emptied. Seems someone wanted the stuff that goes bang lol.

German steel and products made then was the best in the world. They was really the best u can get. Now it's China, not the best but no matter what u buy flip it over and says Made in China. If China said FU USA wed be so very fucked so very bad. Over 75 percent of all we use comes from china. Scary and sad. I was born in 80 and I remember helping dad work on things around the house and buying wear items and fixing it, not throwing it out and buying new. Miss those days. Shit lasted then. I have a blender, mixer and a microwave, all ugly colors, very heavy but works almost 40 years. Made in USA

more like did most of the dying. russian command didn't care how many of their troops died unfortunately.

Exactly Darren. You just need to look at a map, see how huge Russia - back then - and Europe. Russian front absorbed well over half the german army, and war effort. Not down playing allied war effort, but, yes, Darren, if it wasn't for the Russians...the war would have dragged on. Just so terrible that Stalin, near doubled the entire casualties of ww2 - on his own people.

@@sking3492 And the Russian winter help.

i am always blown away with how casual they handle ww2 ordinance...you're right with the whole, one unstable one handled wrong and you're done for.

I would be paranoid as hell picking one of those up I've heard too many horror stories but they act like they don't care lol

@@solidrockofjesuschristmini2423 Meanwhile in Russia lol

I'm watching this just shaking my head. They have NO IDEA the danger they're in right now. It's a PERAMETER WIRE...AND A MINE FIELD BEYOND IT...🙄🤯💀

Luckily a lot of those mines doesn't have the detonator so the explosives are open to the elements. The explosives (mainly TNT) can 'sweat' when it's old and then it's very unstable. But we got natures finest bomb disposal unit available, ants. Ants like the sweet taste of most explosives, so they litteraly eat the explosives and make a bomb 'safe'. Although the mine at 11:15 i wouldn't touch with a 5m long stick behind a concrete wall. It got an intact fuse, no holes for ants and looks like it got some weight when he lifts it, meaning there's most likely still explosives inside.

german engineering were on of the factors that allies had trouble with, though they still tend to overengineer stuff

Those fitted with the 3 pronged dets were risky and so easy to set off back when first put in place, never mind now, still live !!

Believe me, was thinking the exact same thing. But these are Russians, and they don't like to be "Beeches" about things like this lol

if you ever find out, let me know. Maybe those are just Lada's with big wheels? lol

👍

those are simple version of the sherps which are seling in the US as well

Well he lives in russia so the best spots are in the eastern front areas so basically any woods that the germans occupied

russia

Marcio, l was about to say the same thing 😜😜!!

Primer / powder degraded with moisture

Life expectancy buried in the ground to preform as manufactured is 3 months, these mine were tested by the Allies in North Africa, as mentioned by PVD all primer/ powder black powder based is prone to moisture. The only dangerous content is the three dets under the three screws at the top, which should just drop out when unscrewed.

Yes sherp derived from this vehicle
