I'm pretty sure it does. How do you plan on making the mine?

It is a good fit.

Speculating here... You dont intend to fill the inverted cap with paint and shoot it via some triggering mechanism do you? If so, I would reconsider simply because that method seems as if something could be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get 'whacked' by high velocity PVC cap. Maybe a styrofoam cup? Im not really crazy about PB mines, but I suppose one could be made while not being a danger as far as players or bystanders.

i actually thought of making a paintball claymore with a tripwire that pulled a ball valve or something of the sort. that would be pretty cool

take a spraypaint can, take off the nozzle, stick a nail in the hole at the top of the can, burry it, and wait for some1 to step on that nail.

that doesnt work very well, the best way to pour turps over it and light it on fire :twisted:

spraypaint isnt the same as paintball paint, paintball paint washes much easier and wont piss off ur buddy when he bitches u out for getting his new timberlands covered with spraypaint lol.

Cant talk to much right now but I have it all figured out, it is a coax set up with 2 directional nozzels, and the trip wire will pull a contact point and set it off.

Guys, a landmine is to dangerous, because it fires from much to close. Wy not make a boobytrap like the one i just have drawn realy fast :

Image

1 : tripwire : use wire for fisching, real thin, or any strong thin black wire will do
2 : apple tree (not my fault it grows there ;) )
3 : trigger system (it's enlaged in that circle, in case you didn't realise ;)
4 : your battery pack
5 : this is the tricky part : I dont know how you call such a thing in English, but it is used to hang up the laundry, and ist is made of wood. In the 2 parts that squeez together, you put (again, what is the english word ...) something like we call thumbnails (hope you understand) On each thumbnail you connect a electric wire, those red things. One goes toe your sprinkler valve, the orher goes to the battery pack. From teh batterypac you connect a wire to the valve also, to close the circuit.
In between the tumbnails you put a peace of plastic or wood, attached to the tipwire. When somebody trips it, that thing gets ripped away between the tumbnails, making contact, and firing the gun
6 : two wires go to the sprinkler valve
7 : barrel filled with paintballs (or whatever, flower will do greatly to :) )
8 : you pneumatic, sprinkler-valve-triggered spud cannon.

Guys, have fun with this ;) It is a great trap. I have used it before, but without the spudgun. (i attached a smokebomb. )

i had a fantastic guide to making a 12 gram co2 landmine, used babypowder or liquid. Damn i forgot where it was from.

if i have time to draw it for u later i will, it worked great till i ran out of 12grams and tried to improvise...

To use it the way I desgined it is...
1. pressureize it with 20-30 PSI
2. open fill thingy and fill with paint
3.Stake to the ground
4.put fire box next to it/were you want the wire to be
5.Run your trip wire
6.hook the wire up
7.sit with a sniper and wait
Ill try to get a pic of the desgin up today. I got some stuff to do. And I was going to use Crayola washable and non toxic paint. Mix with a little water.
