Tripwires

A laser tripwire is a two-part system which is made up of a detector and an emitter and is tripped when the detector stops detecting the beam because it has been obstructed (that's why the one in your video can also be set up to go off if you point a laser at the detector, which is just a matter of reversing the fire / don't fire states). The mines in CoD don't work that way (you don't have to place an emitter pointed at the detector or a reflector to angle the beam into it), they're triggered by proximity, which would only work if the laser was a rangefinder and detonated if target dist < detonation dist. This would be more a than slightly ridiculous amount of technology to put in a landmine. Evil Tim (talk) 04:27, 8 March 2015 (EDT)

Edits

Please cut down on the exposition and speculation in your edits. We're just here to document guns and actors. There's no need to give away anything aside from what's in the screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:42, 29 May 2015 (EDT)

LAW

I don't know where you got the idea from that operator's manual that you can't fire a LAW in an enclosed space, but it's not true, you just have to give the backblast enough room to expand. FM3-06.11 has instructions for firing a TOW Launcher indoors, nevermind a LAW. Here's a quote from 7-11, section b:

"(2) Since the end of World War II, the US Army has conducted extensive testing on the effects of firing recoilless weapons from within enclosures. Beginning as early as 1948, tests have been conducted on every type of recoilless weapon available. In 1975, the US Army Human Engineering Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland, conducted extensive firing of the LAW, Dragon, and TOW from masonry and frame buildings, and from sandbag bunkers. These tests showed the following:
(a) Firing these weapons from enclosures presented no serious hazards, even when the overpressure was enough to produce structural damage to the building.
(b) Little hazard exists to the gunnery or crew from any type of flying debris. Loose items were not hurled around the room."
