LAM

The Lightweight Attack Munition (LAM) is a small explosive device which can be used both as a grenade and a proximity mine. Even though it is quite easy to defuse the explosive for a person who is trained in demolition it is very popular (the gangster ‘El Ray’ calls them “hardcore munitions”).
