Subdeacon Joe Posted October 19, 2012 Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted October 19, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 19, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Only problem I saw was there was not enough of them standing close when it exploded....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kajun Posted October 19, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
