One of the products that S-Thunder makes that can really take your airsoft and paintball games to the next level of realism are their landmines. The landmines can be broken down into two different categories and those would be

  1. Visual Effect
  2. Audible Effect

Visual Effect

For visual effect S-Thunder has released their water and powder spraying landmines. These landmines work with a single 12 gram C02 cartridge and can be loaded and ready to use in about 30 seconds.When stepped on they shot a burst of colored powder or water into the air, they are not very loud but look quite impressive when they are triggered They are also the most affordable units in the line up and come in black and tan.

Audible Effect

Next in the line up is the smaller and LOUDER dual use and step and release landmines. These are powered by either C02 or green gas. The step and release mine only goes off after you step on it then step off it. The standard dual use mine is the standard step and BANG type mine. They are meant to produce more noise then visual effect but you can place powder on top of them for a nice smoke cloud effect.These are the most expensive in the line up but also offer the most realism in terms of noise. They are available in green and tan.
