The A.P. Mine No. 3 was a British anti-personnel mine of World War II. The mine was developed and produced by the Royal Engineers in India due to a shortage of mines for the Burma campaign. The mine was simpler to lay than previous devices and could be placed by infantrymen, rather than sappers. The A.P. Mine No. 3 was a bounding shrapnel mine that was lethal at ranges of up to 30 yards (27 m).
