Most modern infantry battalions have a platoon of 6-8-9+ mortars (81/82mm) the amount of firepower that a mortar platoon can provide firing at maximum rate of fire is a lot more than many people imagine. The smaller 60mm and the large 107/120mm are also impressive and important weapons for the infantry.
Back in 1971 at Ft Benning (mortar platoon officer course) we a a firing table book at had time to target depending on the setting of the tube charge and distance to target.
i gooogled it, i have studied it but my dumb ass forgotten everything see Equation of path of projectile motion y = (tan θ0)x - gx2/2(v0cosθ0)2 here theta is the angle of round being fired, or the angle of mortar

I love that
good job uniform brothers
Imagine if they accidentally drop the bomb
The gunner was wrong for standing behind the tube. You stand beside not behind. 👍
My ears just popped
Holy shit that’s loud
👏
Can someone please explain and provide a math formula for how long it takes to hit its target depending on distance?

Don't make me break out my whizz wheel
1:17 The good part
Holy shit 😭😭😭😭😭
Hurry up and wait!!!
You have to wonder how many civilians were killed when they dropped.
Who cares
None
How many americans does it take to work a mortar?
3, usually.
Hmmm a guy to aim, guy to bring ammo , and coordinates receiver I think but yeah 3
If the mortar is set up, one person can do everything. It takes longer but that person can do everything if they have to.
Why cant they have a machine do this?
They do, at least kind of. Howitzers are the closest thing I can think of to answer your question. They have much greater range and power.
