Anti-personnel

Okay kiddo, have you ever played tag or hide-and-seek with your friends? Anti-personnel is a grown-up word that means things designed to hurt or stop people from playing those games.

Imagine you're playing tag with your friends, but instead of just tapping them to say they're "it", you have a special toy that shoots little balls at them so they can't run anymore. That toy is anti-personnel because it's designed to stop people from playing tag by hurting them.

Anti-personnel things can also include bad guys putting bombs or traps on the ground to hurt people who step on them. These are really bad things and not things you should ever use in real life, okay?
