Lunge mine

The lunge mine, known in Japanese as Shitotsubakurai, was a suicidal anti-tank weapon developed and used by the Empire of Japan during World War II. It consisted of a conical hollow-charge anti-tank mine housed in a metal container and mounted on the end of a wooden stick, meant to be thrust against an enemy tank's hull by a soldier at point-blank range. Officially adopted by the Japanese Army in 1944, it was used by close-quarters battle units and first saw combat on Leyte in December 1944, remaining in Japanese service through 1948.
