flamingknives Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 To answer the original question, the 2" mortar can be picked up and fired horizontally, as it is trigger fired, not drop fired (I forget the correct term) As for the rest, everyone thinks they're a comedian, unfortunately few are. I've seen better jokes inside Christmas crackers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the small russian or italian ones for example) Just the Japanese one. flamingknives will now give a demonstration of why they were referred to as "knee mortars". On a completely unrelated topic, how long does it take for a fractured femur to mend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, the other mortars require the bomb to drop down the tube with a certain amount of speed, so there is a minimum angle at which the mortar will work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
