'''Booby Trapstraps''' come in are improvised antipersonnel or anti-tank devices, concealed within an area likely to be passed through by the enemy. Although taking many different forms but they , all are all designed to inflict sufficient damage to an enemy to prevent them from continuing, either through killing them slow or demoralize enemies by inflicting casualties and destroying armoured vehicles. Another primary use is to slow and disrupt enemy formations and to demoralise them.<sup>1</sup>
==Types of Booby Trap==
*'''Plasma Charge''' - designed to punch through enemies with heavy armour or vehicles rather than affecting a large area, such as [[TyranidsTyranid]] s and [[TerminatorsTerminator]]s. The super-heated plasma blasts out at whatever triggered it and inflicts horrific battle damage. Common patterns include all standard plasma weapon photonic hydrogen fuel flasks, ''Necromundan "Cyclops" anti-armour blast spheres'' and ''Golgotha pattern 90KW energy mines''.<sup>1</sup>
*'''Shredder Mines''' - explosive frag charges mounted on an upright plate launches shrapnel in random directions over a large area, creating a small killing zone. It is ideal for covering narrow paths and streams. Common patterns include ''Triplex Phall type XII "Repudiator" auto-mine'', ''Armageddon "Hammerhead" area denial weapon'' or the ''Necromunda pattern "Widowmaker" anti-personnel savager''.<sup>1</sup>
