Type 72 Anti-Tank Mine

==Summary==
The Type 72 Anti-Tank Mine is a circular anti-tank blast mine designed by China. It is similar to the Russian TM-46 mine. A metal-cased version and a plastic-cased version of the mine are produced. The mine has a central plastic cased blast resistant fuze.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Type 72 metallic anti-tank mine, Type 72 non-metallic anti-tank mine
Origin: The Real World
Age: Unknown (Should be younger than the M18 Claymore Mine and Type 66 Mine which were designed at around the time 1952 - 1956)
Classification: Land mine
Wielders: List of countries where such mines are found as in 2019
Powers and Abilities: Creation of an explosion – triggered when the victim steps on it. Designed to be hard to be detected by enemies so as to destroy enemies or deter enemy movement. Non-metallic versions are even harder to be located using metal detectors under most field conditions.
Attack Potency: Small Building level (Usually contains up to 5.4 kilograms of TNT/RDX in a 50/50 mix (29,371,680 joule yield). Can be composed of different mixes of TNT/RDX)
Speed: Immobile when placed. Superhuman reactions on detonation (takes around 0.045 seconds to activate the mine). Explodes with possibly Hypersonic fragment speed (Fragment velocity of up to 1732 m/s)
Durability: At least Below Average Human level, possibly Street level (Is a metallic/ceramic can. Designed such that an enemy at around 300 kg stepping on the pressure plate roughly 0.9 cm downward will trigger explosion. In reality, the Type 72 is quite resistant to shock and overpressure from explosive breaching systems such as the Giant Viper and MICLIC.)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range (Requires enemies to step on it to activate explosion), Several Meters via detonation (Causes damage with a blast radius of around 4 meters)
Weaknesses:
#Needs extensive care and preparation before being put into action or the user can be killed.
#Only activates explosion when it senses enemies stepping on or running over it. Degree of sensitivity may determine its effectiveness.
#Based on point 2, this also means it can get triggered into explosion early if any object other than the target enemy steps on or runs over it.
#A common problem post-war governments faced with the land mines is that often even the people who placed the mines do not remember their planting locations a couple of years later.
