Cartridge Trap (Foot Breaker)
The cartridge trap consists of a cartridge set into a piece of bamboo fastened to a board and
installed in a camoflaged pit. A nail driven through the bottom of the bamboo serves as a firing
pin. The weight of a man stepping on the upper end of the cartridge forces the nail into the
cartridge to initiate the primer; the bullet is then propelled upward through the man’s foot. See
accompanying picture.
