Talk:Anti-personnel mine

Sub headings
I have converted some of the other style options into sub headings to be more standard. It also makes the Table of Contents (TOC) more useful.

Image (PTAB)
I have changed the image from the P2AB, because the P2AB is NOT an anti-personnel mine, but an anti-personnel submunition of a Russian cluster bomb. Yes, some cluster bombs release mines (AP and AT) as submunitions, but the PTAB is not one of these, it is designed to injure personnel yes, but not acting as a mine, it simply explodes immediately (possibly with a slight delay). The Valmara 69 is a much better photo, because it shows scale compared to a person as well as the usual placement of mines (in or on ground).

Fuze mechanism
It would seem to follow from the description given that the cinematic theme of a soldier who hears a click and ends up stuck standing on a mine, lest it explode when he removes his foot, is a myth. Could there be some discussion on this point? 68.165.204.148 (talk) 22:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Why is there no discussion, in the context of the recent news of the US's refusal to sign the Convention, of whether or not the US still manufactures antipersonnel mines, and exactly which companies, belonging to which groups and supported by which investors, in which countries, do manufacture these mines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lestrad (talk • contribs) 16:44, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

How is the above relevant to this article? Were you to post a similar comment to the article dealing with the treaty proper you might have a response by now. Drieux 04:29, 27 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drieux (talk • contribs)

What happen to POV and Neutrality on subjects
Folks, The Ex links especially have but on POV and zero neutrality. That should be discussed on the a separate page dealing with the campagin to ban land mines. Not a page which deals with how land mines work and their history. Yes, a small paragraph should mention the treaty, but this is going in whole hawg for indoctrination and an agenda.
