How to make a landmine                          by The Jolly Roger 

First, you need to get a pushbutton switch. Take the wires of it  
and connect one to a nine volt battery connector and the other to  
a solar igniter (used for launching model rockets). A very thin  
piece of stereo wire will usually do the trick if you are  
desperate, but I recommend the igniter. Connect the other wire of  
the nine-volt battery to one end of the switch. Connect a wire  
from the switch to the other lead on the solar igniter.  

       switch-----------battery 
         \                  / 
          \                / 
           \              / 
            \            / 
            solar  igniter  
                  | 
                  |  
                  | 
              explosive 

Now connect the explosive (pipe bomb, m-80, CO2 bomb, etc.) to the  
igniter by attaching the fuse to the igniter (seal it with scotch  
tape). Now dig a hole; not too deep but enough to cover all of the  
materials. Think about what direction your enemy will be coming from 
and plant the switch, but leave the button visible (not TOO  
visible!). Plant the explosive about 3-5 feet away from the switch  
because there will be a delay in the explosion that depends on how  
short your wick is, and, if a homemade wick is being used, its  
burning speed. But if you get it right... and your enemy is close  
enough......... BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! hahahaha
