How do mortars work
A mortar is basically just a very large tube, closed at the bottom and mounted on a base plate that allows some adjustment. Below the barrel is a fixed firing pin. If the mortar shell falls into the barrel and hits the pin, the propelling charge burns.<br />An explosion of propelling charge then produces gas which pushes the mortar shell (or bomb) out of the tube.<br />#howdoesamortarlaunch<br />#howdoesamortarfire<br />#howmortarroundswork<br />#howdomortarshellswork<br />#mortarboardclipart<br />#firingamortar<br />#mortarshells<br />#mortarbomb<br />https://youtu.be/pIyoxvozqI0<br />https://dai.ly/x89a5jx
