Subdeacon Joe Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Kind poor quality video, and it goes by quickly. But you should be able to spot it. http://www.military.com/video/guns/mortars/fsa-mortar-attack-gone-wrong/1730749469001/
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Dang! Hate it when they don't mark which end is up.
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Maybe they should read the instructions first?
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I think it worked just fine. What's the problem?
Moose Wesson Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I think it worked just fine. What's the problem? X2 Moose
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Something isn't right with this. A morter round has a fusing system that requires it to be fired before it will detonate. If you just drop one, it won't go off.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Something isn't right with this. A morter round has a fusing system that requires it to be fired before it will detonate. If you just drop one, it won't go off. That was my thought also. IIRC there is a safety fuse on the side of the round that is ejected when the round leaves the tube.
Hoss Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Only problem I saw was there was not enough of them standing close when it exploded.......
Krazy Kajun Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 That was my thought also. IIRC there is a safety fuse on the side of the round that is ejected when the round leaves the tube. BMC, it's more than likely that those are either Russian or Iranian mortar rounds and they may not be made the same....just a thought. I was kinda hoping that it was a training video at the suicide bombers school.....we need more of them to get on the training field and have at it

I would give them all A+ if this was a Martyr school vs. a Mortar school. Wonder what they were going to shoot at? I guess we will never know. I'm good with that.

Subdeacon Joe Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 On the site I found this, not the site I linked to, speculation was that it was a dud round that they tried to fire again. Note that there are no charge increments on the round.
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 The gene pool is a little clearer today....idiots. It's always important to be looking and away and talking to people around you when loading an explosive device! Ike
Krazy Kajun Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Omar, hold my goats milk and watch this. Now THAT'S funny right there! Raghead Rednecks!
