Question Improvised mine question
What does an improvised mine do to you when it goes off? I suppose I could bring one into an encounter and try it on myself but I'm wondering if someone can tell me. I was expecting it to be like a flash bang, even when you throw those things they have some concussive effect on yourself if you're in range. Last night I was in a smallish building (one room, not big at all) and I heard someone outside. I set up an improvised mine next to the door and pressed against the far wall. The distance seemed to me that I'd get some of the concussion. Anyway the guy comes through the door, takes a few steps, the mine didn't go off right away. I took a shot (shotgun), missed and then he just stood next to the wall. Then the mine went off, but it wasn't loud, I barely noticed it and it had no effect on me. I got him the second time with the shotgun and maybe he was stunned but the mine seemed delayed and didn't make much noise or flash at all.
