Curiously, none of your projos seem to have an obturating ring. Why is that? You'd get more velocity that way. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Just a thought from an ex - Mortarman. Please learn how to safely fire a mortar. The way you're doing it is not safe, and could lead to you sending a hand downrange. YouTube has tons of videos showing 11Chucks doing their thing. Emulate them. They do it that way for a reason. I can give you some pointers if you like. Watching that video literally made my asshole pucker so hard, I almost got sucked into a vortex. I've had a couple people mention that. I was a commo guy, so all I had to go off of was the WWII manuals for the thing before safety was a real concern. I now know that gloves are a no-no. Watches, rings, and jewelry were already removed and I was wearing ballistic eyewear, KPOT, and body armor. I think I will switch to foamy earplugs from now on though. What else should I consider as far as safety? .......I'd hate for something to happen to you, with me sitting here able to prevent it.

Oh there's definitely a better solution for dummy projectiles. However, it costs approx.: Beer bottle (Full) $1.00 Hex Nut $.50 Billiard Ball $1.50 Concrete or Plaster $.50 Sealant/Adhesive $.25 _____________________ Total ~$3.75 The cheapest I can get M69 dummy projos is ~$25 plus shipping each. So, a beer bottle is not ideal, but it is functional. Now, this won't be my last attempt at creating decent projectiles. I have an idea to machine some Delrin or other clear plastic into a projectile so I can place a chem light in it to make a tracer. |

As far as camera round updates, I need to buy a small ruggedized HD camera as the ones I have likely won't work. This particular project has taken a back burner to my hand grenade project over on Grog's board. I'll probably update next time I can take the mortar out.

I can only launch something less than 60mm in diameter. |

What about those contour cameras?

What about those contour cameras? That was going to be my next suggestion, but they've shut down, so you'll have to find one in stock or buy used. I've got one and it's great, but you'd have to figure out some way to activate the slide switch and lock it in the on position, as the launch recoil would turn the camera off if it were facing forward. There's always the Replay XD, that might be your best bet, it's around $150 retail.

This new camera takes video in 360deg. But at 399 when it comes out, might be out of the price range.

Need to buckle down, finish my frag grenade project, and get the wife to allow me to spend money on a FPV camera that I will then launch. There are some promising 360 degree cameras that will be hitting the market later this year, I will have to see how much they are.
