Remember how in vietnam they had those bamboo spike traps? Or how in WW1 barbed wire was placed in awkward locations to trip moving soldiers up for an easier shot?
In modern warfare, are there any traps to speak of, even if they are made by individuals, not issued?
>>32834633
Yeah they are called mines and/or IEDs. . .

>I was just trying to start a trap thread
That's some dangerous phrasing there.

ahhh /k/ where traps are not gay

>Implying barb wire isn't used anymore
Traps are easy to make. Especially if you are a soldier; then you have claymore mines which are essentially boobytraps, and granades which will do the same job. I refrain from calling it modern only because it has been around since ww1. Russkis used to have some mines that looked like toys. Effective but not good for public relations.

Those need to be modified to be a "booby trap". The issued kit is command wire only.
I hear a good one
I'm sure many people might be aware of IED's made by putting C4 in the fuse of an artillery shell
well in retaliation, I hear enemy arms caches are sometimes booby-trapped by placing an unstable crystallizing explosive in the fuse and rigging it to a standard pull fuse; grenade; but sometimes simply woven wire
apparently it's pretty safe when first installed; but becomes unstable over time to the point that pulling the crystal covered wire out (which is often attached to a trapdoor, or another shell) sets the whole cache off
I think cheap landmines phased out the more elaborate shit
if you're thinking about "man traps" perhaps a wire rip line?
heavy barbed wire tied to an object, so the object rips the wire across a path
I've seen tension trip lines in the forest before, god knows what wannabbe rambo put them there, my gut feeling is someone thought they could get deer with them
heard a rumour a few years back that an arsonsist working for the fire department rigged fire bombs for animals to set off, covering his tracks
a forest fire could wipe out anything
The trouble with traps is that sooner or later, someone on your side is going to set it off. Or a civilian. And if it get common enough, that someone activating the next trap might well be you.

In Mogadishu they would set up burning tires in the street as barricades, smoke screens, and signals.

Technically the double apron barbwire fence is still taught but it's rarely used.
So is tanglefoot.

have you been to /d/? That's where all the good ones are.
Anti-personnel traps will function well in an urban environment but we have a habit of leveling the cities before it becomes a problem. It might be more common in some of the lower tech border wars in Eurasia. Traps like the one pictured are the kinds of crap drug cartels put outside safe houses for the federales.
