Fulcrum's Taipan Cap Airsoft Land Mine

Fulcrum presents his Taipan, a small, low-profile airsoft landmine designed to be carried in large quantities. Its design allows it to fit easily into a magazine pouch, making it a portable option for players who want to set up traps across a field. While primarily a mine, it can also function as an emergency grenade if the situation gets a bit too chaotic.

The device operates using standard eight-shot cap gun rings, which provide the noise without the need for complex internals. Setting it up involves arming the device and placing it under a light layer of cover, though the creator warns to watch where you reach while hiding it in the dirt. Pressure on the top plate triggers the caps, ensuring that any unsuspecting player who steps on it will be greeted with a sharp snap.

Because of its size, a single player can deploy dozens of these to create a localized minefield, much to the potential annoyance of the opposing team. There are even lighthearted musings about building a wheelbarrow-mounted dispenser to automate the process of making life difficult for others. For those interested in expanding their plastic-shrapnel-free arsenal, the files for 3D printing or pre-made units are available online.
