The Type 99 (Hako-Baku-Rai) mine was a Japanese anti-tank weapon used during the Second World War. It entered service in 1939. Four magnets were attached to the casing made of hemp cloth along with an external fuze. The fuze had a time delay which enabled it to be used as an anti-tank hand grenade or a demolition charge. Once the safety pin was removed it was armed striking the fuze ignited a powder delay train.
