Personally if you yourself are not willing to set the mouse trap off IN your own hand before setting this out in the feild I really wouldn't recommend the mouse traps. Specially when there are so many other ways out there. Like fire alarms for example. Stick a batter in one, wire it so that when the top is pressed it goes off! Only need to modify the test button really. Unless you're smoking out in the feild real close to the ground. Yeah I'm looking at you Stalker! :P just kidding. That way its easily reuseable. Not to mention that there are ways to rewire them up to have trip lins and all sorts of different applications to them.
Anything that can hurt someone is probably not the best way to go. And yes I know LUTNIT we are shooting at each other here. But you wanna go crawling along and roll to cover to take this thing on your ear; nose, neck, face, etc etc.? |
As for rolling into this thing and hurting those sensitive places, its actually touchy enought to go off with heavy enough vibrations, say like a 150+ lbs airsofter plus gear hitting the ground right next to it... as for landing on it, well then your body would just stop the bar from swinging, not a big problem
plus usually when we use these in our games, the trap is visible, so we will hide it under or beside trees and old cars and the like. plus if your paying attention you can see the tripline in the light. If your in the night or running from a hail of bbs, thats a different story. or there is always the excitement of capturing the flag, only to realize too late that the tripline is attached to the flag... isnt that right dan?
