That seems like one of the more dangerous weapons to deploy. Can anyone that was in the military tell me which weapons are even more dangerous to deploy

When you're fighting in a war you have to do what you have to do. Been there done that in Vietnam 1966-1967 and 1968-1969. Saw and did more than I wanted. I'm now retired on 100% disability from PTSD.

How far can you shoot those shells and how accurate can you get by aiming it? I've always wondered because of all the variables including the movement of the tube everytime it's fired. πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Setting the baseplate of the 60mm. I was an 0341 (Mortarman) in the Marine Corps. Mostly operated the 81mm version of this weapon. Took it into war during Desert Storm WPNS Co. 1/8, 2nd Mar Div. Semper Fi. OOO-RAH.

he is the gripper holding down the weapon to keep it on mark and from falling over it's a power weapon that does move a lot

And if you have a misfire and the motar pops out of the barrel and lands on the young soldier, you better be praying that you don't have it go off.

So he positions himself to hold down the legs of the mortar stand when the round is fired. Does he aim it also?

where's the "hang one" "drop" and " down range"? Guess 56 years they are teaching these new meats not like we did back in the day.

That's so that they can seat the base plate. the base plate is not solidly in the ground until the first round is fired out of it

It’s not an 81mm…it’s a 60mm. This move is called β€œseating the baseplate…Semper Fi

Looks like a 60 mortar which can be sling fired or ground mounted and in this case it looks like the crew needed to hold the pod down to stabilize the weapon. The soldier dropping the round needs to work on correct process.
