Also, the wrench used to do this.

I think he is referring to the fragility of the mine. It is an explosive after all, but according to this the operating pressure is 150kg+ so I bet its pretty solid and easy to remove.

Me no likey....

IRL the only person picking up live ord. is EOD for Coalition forces...

as for the MEC, PLA etc... IDK how thy work but I would assume a REAL army would do the same...

now for insurgents or Tal. maybe one would be stupid enough to mess with live ord. but as said b4 it is extremely sensitive.

If YOU placed it maybe it would be possible to pick it up but again very sensitive and the chances of it exploding are pretty good if you do not know what you are doing.

I know at mountain warfare training they would not let us pick up discarded ammo bins or brass in fear of something explosive (gun powder or live cartridges) still being in there and hurting us... imagine IRL in a combat situation....

I support this idea completely.

If you are smart enough to arm an AT mine or set a grenade trap you are smart enough to disarm them, it's almost the exact same steps in reverse. Same goes for the pipe bomb, it's just wires from a cellphone to a detonator.

Maybe not for the arty IED though.. I wouldn't want to touch that in the first place, even without a cellphone attached.

In one of the vBF2 patches, they introduced the ability to pick up Claymores with the "G" Key, but I believe they reverted this later.

I'm not sure that's exactly what he meant, but that brings up an interesting point:

Is the mine supposed to represent an actual landmine or just a proximity triggered IED?

Judging by this video, insurgents dont know how to disarm their own mines/IED's

Remote IEDs don't need disarming though, they won't go off unless you press send the detonation command.

Why just the Taliban and insurgents? Have everyone be able to do it.

I know, IED doesnt just mean the ones in PR though in RL IED can be anything from a nade trap to a mine with a pressure pad

Judging by this video, we don't have Apaches in Insurgency mode. You cant judge a few people and represent them as a whole.
