The APM-1, APM-2, APM-3, APM 19, and APM 29 are Austrian directional fragmentation mines similar to the U.S. Claymore mine. The mine's cases are made from moulded plastic have convex faces. They contain a matrix of 5 millimeter diameter steel balls weighing 0.5 grams laid over a Composition B charge. When triggered the mines project the fragments in a horizontal arc of approximately 60 degrees. The mines can be command or tripwire activated, and can be fitted with a time delay fuze ranging from one minute to twenty four hours.

  • The APM-1, APM-2, APM-3, APM 19, and APM 29 are Austrian directional fragmentation mines similar to the U.S. Claymore mine. The mine's cases are made from moulded plastic have convex faces. They contain a matrix of 5 millimeter diameter steel balls weighing 0.5 grams laid over a Composition B charge. When triggered the mines project the fragments in a horizontal arc of approximately 60 degrees. The mines were not produced in numerical order, the APM-3 was superseded by the APM-2. The APM-1 is the smallest of the mines, it uses a tripod mounting with a pan and tilt head. The APM-2 uses two scissor type legs to position. The mines can be command or tripwire activated, and can be fitted with a time delay fuze ranging from one minute to twenty four hours. Production of APM-1 and APM-2 ceased in 1980s, though both have been reported as used in Angola.
