M25 Anti-Personnel Mine

The M25 anti-personnel mine is an United States copy of the Canadian C3A1 "Elsie" minimum metal anti-personnel mine. The M25 was first deployed by the United States in 1965.

The mine resembles a short, stubby carrot in appearance. Generally, Elsie mines are either coloured black or khaki for use in desert environments. Elsie mines can easily be spray painted to blend in with an arctic or jungle scenario. Training (i.e. inert) versions are colored blue.
