It is actually incorrect nomenclature to call the Type 99 a mine because the Type 99 is meant to be thrown and even has a grenade like fuse however this is a common mistake made by historians. It had a ten-second delay before detonation and was magnetic. The four magnets are located at each of the four "corners". To activate the grenade, one must pull the safety pin and give the cap covering the fuze a strong hit. Contained inside the grenade is approximately 680 grams worth of TNT explosive, though the penetrative power of the weapon was limited to 20mm worth of armor penetration, 30mm should the grenades be stacked.
