I have never been satisfied with simulation landmines that are made for use in airsoft and paintball games. Too many of them offer an effect that is much less than is to be expected, or require expensive refills. The following video demonstrates a mine I created from a soup can and soda bottle that can be reused indefinitely, and creates a realistic explosion of dust and debris.

Baking soda is used in the charge because it is cheap, non toxic, and not flammable. Airsoft pellets may be used as well if desired. If you like this video be sure to share it on Facebook and give it a 1+ on Google Plus!
