The Mk 5 or Mine G.S. Mk V was a cylindrical metal cased U.K. anti-tank blast mine that entered service in 1943 during the Second World War. It was replaced in British service with the Mk 7 mine. Two versions of the mine were produced the Mk. V and the Mk. VC with the same external dimensions. The only difference was that the Mk. VC had a half-sized explosive charge.The mine used a spider pressure plate that makes it resistant to blast overpressure.
