Hi,


According to TM 9-1345-203-12 operator's unit maintenance manual for landmines the AT mine M19 (real one) and M80 (training version) are identical except for "bronze circles" on the training version (see drawings) and there is a warning in the book : "SINCE THE DIMENSIONS ARE IDENTICAL WITH THE LIVE MINE, CARE MUST BE EXERCISED NOT TO USE LIVE COMPONENTS ON THIS INERT MINE".

Where on the mine are painted those 'bronze circles' ??
Does the M80 have also the same markings than the M19 (MINE AT NM M19 in a corner) ?

Does someone have good pictures of it and could share ?

Regards,

S.
