got this israeli demolition manual,its dated 1961.i know they were using british and american equipment but looks like they have made their own boobytrap switches(some are copies of british ones)

I was an IDF Engineer in the 1980s and I did see a few of these items, but not many. A number of them are marked for/and used for training purposes, not necessarily used for more serious pursuits.

Good evening,

I've a question about the attached pull device, with particular reference to the striker retention method. Was the use of small metal balls to block and release the striker a common design? I mean, is it found also in devices produced by other countries?

Thank you for your time.

The use of small metal balls to block and release the striker is a common design, you will find this design in many land mine fuzes and igniters - eg: Soviet MV-5, MVSh 46, MVZ 57, German S.Mi.Z35 ...
