Description
First a bit of background:

Even though the world is in shambles due to the ZeroCons strive to use humans as bodyparts and whatnot, the resistances all over the world still retain some military forces, and have many special ops teams. One of the most recent and most successful of these is the "Triple-R" or RRR; The Recon, Rescue and Retrieval operatives.

The Triple-R often operates under extreme circumstances and favor stealth, speed and lethality. Thus they use silent weapons, and have discarded mines and claymores in favor for this, the Spike Mine.

ZeroCons are hard to take down, especially with conventional firearms. This is because their PSU is deeply imbedded within their bodies, protected by flesh, bones and metal, and is almost impossible to get to without seriously heavy weaponry. As such most soldiers target their heavily armored CPU case, which is often placed externally on their lower backs. The only problem with this is that it is, as previously mentioned, HEAVILY armored, several centimeters thick armored plates, often fitted with metal ridges and peaks to further deflect bullets. On top of this, many new Assassin-class Zero's have one or more decoy CPU cases. Hard to take down, indeed.

But despite this, they have many weak spots (such as joints) and the head (if any) often contains most of its perception electronics like visual input, audio input, target tracking etc. The spike mine is designed to take out any of these weak spots.

Now for the weapon description itself:

The T-39 Spike Mine is not normally intended to kill, but to cripple and distract. Not much bigger than a hand, it can be placed and hidden almost anywhere; on the wall right behind a doorway is a popular placement. It is spring loaded, you could say it's a ballistic knife triplet. It can be set to trigger with trip wires or remotely, and fires 15cm long, 15mm tungsten/wolfram spikes (seriously, I have no idea why tungsten is called by its swedish name in english, and called by its german name in swedish. Languages are weird).
With an easy modification using caliber reducers it can be set to fire smaller 7mm spikes for further penetration. Unlike conventional mines and claymores, the Spike Mines are reusable.

The spikes themselves can also be fit with wires and connected to a power source to help increase the crippling capabilities with high voltage. Beside the standard spikes, there are some different ammunition like tungsten arrows, or delayed explosive spikes.
The Spike Mine can also be equipped with additional barrels, up to 9. Making it a kind of spring loaded volley gun.

"Why the Spikeys? Because if they hear you, you're dead!" - Richard Magnusson, Triple-R weapons specialist.
