Beach Shoot #21 - 60 mm Blue Mine
Date: 2004-02-01
Description
My first 60 mm mine.
Simple kraft bag, crimped closed at the bottom and taped with masking tape. The top was drawn around the quickmatch leader with a clove hitch.
Lift of 50 g of mixed mesh pulverone. Two disks of chipboard sandwitching a ball of wadding, all held together with masking tape. Pumped 8 mm KP blue organic stars, meal primed.
About 50 mm of bare match dipped into the stars, about 150 mm of bare match was available as a delay element.
Comments
Worked great!
Bloody loud though, probably over lifted. The star column was over 50 metres tall with all stars burning out near apogee.
Got quite a positive response from the audience.
