d. Aim charge at the direct center of the target, and ensure that the charge is on the opposite side of the platter from the target. Effective range is 35 yards for a small target. With practice, you might hit a 55-gallon drum at 25 yards 90 percent of the time. A gutted fuse igniter can serve as an expedient aiming device. Figure 5-3. PLATTER CHARGE 5-6. EXPEDIENT EXPLOSIVES-GRAPESHOT CHARGE. To use this antipersonnel fragmentation mine (Figure 5-4)-- a. Hole. Create a hole in the center, bottom of the container, for the blasting cap. b. Explosives. Place explosives evenly on the bottom of the container. Remove all voids and air pockets by pressing the C4 into place using a non-sparking instrument. c. Buffer. Place buffer material directly over the top of the explosives. d. Projectiles. Place projectiles over top of the buffer materials, then cover to prevent spilling from movement. e. Aim. Aim at target from about 100 feet. Use a small amount of C4 on any exposed portion of the blasting cap. Figure 5-4. GRAPESHOT CHARGE
