Applying pressure for clearing land mines

[QUOTE="gjonesy, post: 5463620, member: 576303"] I was commenting to the compressed water idea, i was thinking spraying water like out of a hose... the milk jug idea would work if you could hit it on the trigger mechanism. Spraying water i think it would spread the force out in all directions (as would air) on something buried a couple inches under ground. That is unless you had a precision [SIZE=16px]water cannon or air gun and it would probably have to be right on top of the mine. Perhaps a large caliber firearm, as has been suggested mounted on a bomb disposable robot. There is a round called a ( breaching round) or a (plug round) that if you could get within 2 feet you could shoot the mine...it should have the power to either detonate the mine or render it inoperable. A milk jug full of water would have a "tamping" affect and would be a competing force with the blast going up and the water trying to go out. Could possibly even limit the mines blast radious actually. A milk jug with a blasting cap may have the ablity to render the mine inoperable as well do to the directional tamping force.
