Description
The Mine Dispenser is a piece of Battle Armor equipment first produced by the Capellan Confederation for its Fa Shih armor in 3062. Only usable while the armor is hovering in mid-air over the target area, the dispenser detaches one of two canisters. Once the canister has reached the correct altitude, it explodes, propelling dozens of grenade-sized mines downward with enough force to penetrate several centimeters into the ground. These mines, whether conventional, command-detonated, anti-jump or vibrabomb variety, will arm themselves after a few seconds. The minefield location is then cataloged by the on-board computer for friendly forces and for later mine clearance.[1][2][3]
