10. ABOUT MORTARS • A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive projectiles known as (mortar) bombs at low velocities, short ranges, and high-arcing ballistic trajectories.

13. About of Mortars Charactaristics of Mortars • A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that consists of a tube into which a mortar shell is dropped. The shell hits bottom on a fixed firing pin, setting off a detonation which propels the shell out with a high ballistic trajectory. Mortar rounds have fins to stabilize their flight and cause the shell to strike fuze-end first. Since before World War II, mortars have had these components: • a lightweight tube • a bipod lifting and supporting the forward, open end of the tube • a relatively large base plate supporting the closed end of the tube at ground level • a sight, elevating and traversing mechanism, and other accessories Use of Mortars • Light (60 mm) and medium (81 mm) mortars are portable, carried into combat by their crew. Heavy mortars are installed in custom gun carriages and are employed like artillery. • Mortars are used for battlefield illumination at night, to lay down smoke to conceal troop movements, and for anti-personnel fire using high explosive rounds. Chemical mortars have been used in the past but are not now part of the U.S. inventory.
