The Vietnam War left an indelible mark on the global psyche, with its complex legacy still resonating today.

One particularly chilling aspect of this conflict was the use of a deadly landmine known as the "Bouncing Betty."

This pernicious device, also referred to as the M16 bounding mine, was a horrific weapon that epitomized the brutal realities of guerrilla warfare.

The Bouncing Betty was a small, cylindrical landmine that would leap into the air upon detonation, spraying shrapnel in a deadly 360-degree radius.

This made it especially devastating against infantry, as the explosive force and jagged projectiles could maim or kill unsuspecting victims. - https://vietnamfocusguide.com/blog/bouncing-betty-vietnam-war-legacy/?unique_id_bs6tq8k3
