Mason jar mine

The Mason Jar Mine is a cut content mine in Fallout 3.

Background
The mine itself seems to be a combination of nails, possibly Railway Spikes, an empty jar, a stick of dynamite and a lit Cigarette. The cigarette burns down, and eventually ignites the fuse on the dynamite. When it explodes, it sends the nails flying in all directions, but, due to there the explosive (dynamite) is placed, it would send the nailes in only one direction. Also it seems that this wouldn't be able to function as a mine, due to the fact that cigarettes are no proximity activated bombs. This may explain why there are so many cigarretes in the game.

Appearances
Mason Jar Mine does not appear in the files of Fallout 3, but can be found in the book The Art of Fallout 3.
