A body of an insurgent lies in a Baghdad street near an exploded mortar. The militant was killed along with his colleague while they were trying to fire mortar rounds towards a US and Iraqi National Guard base in Iraqi war-torn capital. Witnesses said the mortar rounds exploded and killed the insurgents.(AFP/Str)






I love the look of that peeled mortar tube.

 Yeah, but it's only the 40 caliber ones you have to worry about....the 9 mil and 45 cal mortars are just fine.

Hmmmm....Do you think the catastrophic failure was accidental... -or- did we "help"?
I really hope we helped. We should supply more ammo, not  just mortar rounds, everything!
For example: IIRC a std RPG-7 round's motor burns out @ about 800 metres and the round auto-detonates. Imagine how twitchy these murderous SOBs would get if we introduced a large number of rounds designed to "burn out" at, oh, say 2 metres. Auto suppressing RPG gunners, the wave of the future!

Cleanup isle 5






How big do you think that tube is?
Could we start "instructing" them that if they run out of one size thay can wrap duct tape aaround a smaller one and use it?

Or, get a contractor to "rework" some rounds and leave them where they were found?

What was the name of the SOG operation during Vietnam?

Orange blossom or something like that. I know they issued warnings to ally troops not to use enemy ammunition. C4 doesn't make a good powder substitute.

'cause lots of our Iraqi allies, AND even US forces, are using battlefield "pick ups".... introduce those kind of rounds, and there's a good chance that at some point they will make their way back into the hands of the good guys.

I'm pretty sure that's an Soviet 82mm Mortar, but I ain't no expert...just ducked a few now and again.

FWIW, These "Insurgents" are the Wiley E. Coyote of Combat Arms, IMHO they "self-destruct" about 25% of the time when trying to emplace IED's and rig not-so-smart bombs. I'll ask a few 11C's (Infantry Indirect Fire Specialists) that I know for a more learned opinion about this......

isnt there a pin that you have to hold on to while dropping the round in when the round pops out of the tube the pin flies of?
