Call for Fire! Sending Heavy 120mm Mortar Shells Down Range

Video highlights of Soldiers participating in 120 mm mortar live-fire training exercises and weapon familiarization on the range utilizing the M120A1(Soltam K6) 120 mm towed mortar system and the M327 120mm rifled towed mortar.
This exercises test the abilities of the mortar section to execute indirect fire missions rapidly, safely and effectively under any condition providing constant and accurate high-angle suppressive fire on targets they may not be able to even see.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up so others can find it easier. I appreciate it a lot.

Thank you for the video! But if our soldiers move any slower they'll fall asleep before the mortar falls to the ground.

I'm also questioning why a fire team member, who is clearly inadequate for the position is there in the first place @1:52

[@taboovsknowledge1603]

@ 2:07, you can see the shock wave with the smoke.
This is why you get down or your head will be in that shock wave.

thanks

I have a question for the experts: are these white rings placed on the neck of the mortar grenade an additional seal or an additional, range-increasing propellant charge added to the main charge pierced by a firing pin?

Mam pytanie do fachowców: czy te białe pierścienie założone na szyjce granatu moździerzowego to dodatkowe uszczelnienie czy dodatkowy, zwiększający zasięg ładunek miotający dodawany do ładunku zasadniczego nakłuwanego iglicą?

Fireworks for the FO to enjoy.

[@aandc2005]

Send it!👍 🔱

[@johnfarnham7898]

If a soldier drops a round before the command to fire, is they're a safety in place?

[@patpung1081]

"Gun 2" I like that name

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

Incoming!

[@uwillnevahno6837]

I wasn't a mortarman but 3:18 why is he standing w/his face in the line of fire? I get it isn't loaded but this just seems off.

[@PJvaleting]

You have 30 seconds to compile Ed209 little brother

[@snappycattimesten]

My ears hurt just watching this.

[@MrJamesD]

@1:52 , why are you assisting that soldier? If they can't do it, they shouldn't be there.
Oooooh, you had me at Charge Two ❤

120mm heavy mortar is a high damage rate

[@kunal0602]

Would these be blanks

[@MrJamesD]

Seriously?
What you meant to ask was "Are these Training or Practice rounds?"
The answer would be "Yes. The Blue ones are the M931 120mm Practice rounds. The green ones are HE 120MM"

[@no_more_free_nicks]

the teams in Ukraine do this 50 times faster, why those guys walk so slowly?

[@DESTRUCT0NAT0R]

Because nobody is shooting back and people trying to be hot shots and speed run shit on training tend to get people hurt.

[@karmpuscookie]

Shut up idiot.

[@gorillabiskut]

Masks….

You don't want COVID being transferred via mortar shell
