Mle 1951 AP blast mine
The Mle 1951 or MI AP ID 51 is a small circular French brown plastic cased minimum metal mine anti-personnel blast mine. The mine uses a pressure fuze that works by driving a firing pin through a friction sensitive compound. The mines safety is a small cap that sits over the pressure fuze and prevents it being pressed. The mine can be used with anti-handling devices.
The mine was in service with the French Army and was used in Algeria. It was superseded by the Mle 1955 mine
