The SAPM (Scatterable Anti-Personnel Fragmentation Mine) is a Chinese scatterable anti-personnel fragmentation mine. It is typically deployed from either 122 mm rockets or truck based mine layers. Once the mine hits the ground, two tripwires are deployed to a maximum distance of 10 meters from the mine. Tension on these wires triggers the mine.
