Also of interest, I noticed that if you stand directly behind an 81mm mortar when fired, you can actually see the round for a couple of seconds as it goes up. Kind of fun to watch...
Having carried the baseplate of an 81mm for some distances, they are portable sort of...but I wouldn't want to have to hump that thing for miles on end.
