Real good disection of an PMN-2

Yeah this guy has been a round for a while, but if you watch his procedure you'll see he removed the filler plug first, then the booster plug beating it to get the booster out. Then when he started cutting the rubber off his hand was right in line with where the booster had been. If the det to the booster had gone off he would have had a nice small hole in his hand.

I've done removed the booster on these and on a number of PMNs in the past, no need to go to the length he did, unless they needed to harvest the HE.

But he has one of the best ord museums I have seen in that part of the world.
 
Very brave guys, all of you in EOD non matter what your training or techniques practised.
It makes me appreciate living in a part of the world where you can go for a walk in the woods and not risk stepping on a land mine.
Dave.
