Usage Note
Antiuomo is a technical-military adjective describing weapons or mines designed specifically to target people rather than vehicles or structures. It appears almost exclusively in compound noun phrases such as mina antiuomo (anti-personnel mine). It is not used in everyday speech and sounds jarring outside military or journalistic contexts.
Examples
"Le mine antiuomo sono vietate."
Natural Translation
Anti-personnel mines are banned.
