How do Scatter Mines work in Modern Warfare 3?

Scatter Mines can be used as a tool to gather information and recon against the enemy. When deployed, these mines will continuously scan for enemies in their proximity and detonate upon detecting them. This detonation is not centered on dealing damage, but rather, proceeds to reveal their exact location by displaying a hit marker on the enemy.

Note that this revelation will not be displayed on your tac-map. It will solely be pinged on your screens, and you must keep track of where you deployed the equipment to hunt down the enemies affected by the detonation of these mines.
