- U.S. Army 81mm Mortar in action/Live Fire (Soldiers Train On The Grafenwoehr Mortar Range)
The M252 is an indirect fire weapon capable of providing accurate high explosive, smoke and illuminating rounds out to a maximum range of 5,600 meters.
The 81mm mortar has been in service since WW2 and has undergone various developments to modernize both weapon and ammunition. While Commonwealth forces in WW2 used the British 3” (81.5mm) mortar, the US forces developed the M1 mortar based on the French Brandt mortar, replaced in 1952 with the M29, which was subsequently superseded by the British L16A2 in 1987, and renamed M252 for US use.

Thanks for your support to fight for our freedom.
That is a well seated plate
What are the yellow things near the base of the rounds?
Charges to launch the grenade. As you can see they are all loose and can be removed or added for increased range. The primer charge looks like a big shotgun ammo in the tail of the grenade that you can see when the soldier is preparing the grenades in the ammo boxes 0:53-1:40. When the grenade accelerate down the tube it hits a firing pin in the bottom and ignite the charges and the grenade is on its way.
When I served in a mortar company in the Finnish army in 1974-75 we had a lot of surplus ammo, war booty, from WW2 that had to be used because it was nearing the end of its shelflife. So in the summer of 75 we went to the shooting range in Finnish Lapland at a place called Rovajärvi where we trained for many days with live ammo. I hated to carry the baseplate especially. I was a platoon leader but we all took turns carrying the parts and the ammoboxes in the rather bad terrain. We also used to hang one or two extra grenades, without the detonators from our webbing.
No boom?
