Some of the greatest problems that war thrusts upon mankind surface once the shots cease to sound and the fire fades away in to ashes. These vary from providing shelter to the homeless and food to the hungry to removing the last remaining symbols and threats of the war period. Countless lives were lost after the first and second world wars because of the land miles that were put in there during the war. Despite United Nation’s best efforts in this regard many have lost lives and limbs for no cause.
The XM-7 Spider is a powerful landmine that addresses a lot of problems with self-detonating, static landmines. Since it’s guided by an operator, every Spider has a known location enabling you to remove them when the hostile period is over. Once it’s in position, the Spider deploys six trip mines, one for every 60º and corresponding with each of the Spider’s six detonation canisters. The canisters can be loaded fragmentation explosive charges or non-lethal gases, depending on the situation.
The XM-7 Spider also won’t cause any future woes. If the mine is left on its own for too long, it deactivates. It won’t even blow up if one of its wires are tripped; it has to be detonated by a human operator who is alerted when someone is in range. This really is a much better option than the traditional landmine technology and when you are trying to go in to mindless bloodshed, let us at least keep it away from the innocent. Spider does exactly that.
