I was mortar section leader in the USMC infantry. You should really think about making a round baseplate for that thing with a little socket joint in the middle to seat the end of pipe and then it won't fall over and you'll be able to control the round. That mortar could have fallen over right before the round fired. Even with a baseplate an incorrectly set mortar will fall over. I've seen it with my own eyes. Be safe please.

[@furmanmackey5479]

As a Tanker (Army version) way back in the early 1980s and assigned to the only "Combat Armored Cavalry Troop" assigned to and attached to the 194th Armored Brigade (Separate) then stationed at Ft. Knox, KY somebody (wisely I think) decided that regardless of MOS we had to cross train on other weapon systems. I was picked to CT with our "Mortar Maggot" section. Over time I discovered that everything you mentioned in your comment is/was on point. After a bit of training, I became very comfortable with the 4.2 mortar....Right up until we blew the hell out of a chicken house on a farm bordering Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Our Section Sergeant had been ordered, by the Butter Bar in charge, to use half a cheese charge too many which resulted in a bunch of dead chickens and a pissed off farmer.

For future reference you can also use expended dry chemical fire extinguishers for your projoes. That will give you a thicker shell, You might also want to use some friction tape around the base of the "warhead" ti act as a gas seal, just be sure it still slides smoothly down the "cannon tube" and be sure to use some lubricant on the tape, like vaseline or axle grease. The round will go further and higher. Just a suggestion from an Old Ordnance Warrant Officer.

[@44R0Ndin]

Pretty sure the idea here wasn't to replicate the ballistic characteristics of the improvised mortar rounds, instead the focus is more on the terminal effects of the warhead. If they were looking to simulate the ballistics it might be possible to do it much easier (and much more consistently than the real thing) with a pneumatic cannon.

One of my friends was into buying antique nautical stuff. He had a few cannons. One of which he took out to Glamis. Coors beer cans fit perfectly in this cannon. So he melted a few other cans and poured them into the coors can and topped it with an eye bolt. He then tied about a 100' nylon rope to the eye bolt and achored it to a motorcycle trailer away from everything. He put about an ounce of black powder in the cannon and lit the fuze. The next thing we knew there was just a piece of rope tied to the trailer. The projectile was gone. There was some campers about 3 or 4 miles away in the direction he aimed it. A few minutes later some smoke started coming up from them. He was all worried he hit one. But it turned out they were just as stupid and set one of their own campers on fire. He never found the projectile.

When we were kids, about 10 or 11 years of age, my brother and I made a mortar out of three tin coke cans placed one on top of the other and held together with electrical tape. The top and ends of the first two cans we cut out. The third can we only cut out the top leaving the bottom of the shaft with its rear intact. We then bored a small hole at the end of the mortar to insert propellant which in this case was simple alcohol! As simple as it was, the mortar held together for several discharges using alcohol. The force of the blast was enough to send a tennis ball about 200 feet at about 80 mph! Not long after that, we attended a fourth of July party at which our Uncle provided live M-80's (Quarter sticks of dynamite). We took the M-80's home and decided to try them out in our home made mortar! Our first attempt using an M-80 was successful and in fact the tennis ball was propelled so high that we could not see it. When it landed on our street the tennis ball bounced an incredible 20 or 30 feet into the air. Our neighbor was observing our "blasting" and at his insistence we mounted the mortar onto the truck bed of his old truck to reduce the chance of injury in the event of an "accident!" We then reloaded the mortar with a 2nd M-80 and lit the alcohol fuse. And then "whamo", the mortar flew into a thousand pieces and the tennis ball only went 20 feet into the air. When we checked further, we found that the explosion blew a hole five inches wide into our neighbor's truck bed! In fact, my brother and I were very lucky that we didn't seriously hurt ourselves. Our uncle would have been arrested today if anything serious occured!

It was most likely a larger weight than could've slipped easily from your hand in hindsight. As a word of love and concern for you and your work: I'm far from any professional, but I've seen a lot of complacent people get hurt in a split second.

Sand Bags. or bury the front "bipods" or tack weld perforated strapping on the bipods and use some tent stakes to keep the mortar from moving so much. Drill pilot holes on the upper end of the "Bipod" stand/rods and use cotter pins to secure it to the tube. I'm only an 11b, so I think an 11C Mortarman could offer some better advise.

Gday lads. The most reliable and safe ignition is a Diesel engine glow plug mounted in the bottom. Using a standard car battery to heat it up. By placing a piece of painters tape over the bottom of the round and dropping the round down the tube the glow plug burns through the tape instantly and ignites the loose black powder. You can hang rounds all day Also if you want to get really fancy you can mount and outer sheath and weld it up water tight with a nut welded on the top. Fill her up full of water as a water jacket to prevent over heating and will handle any pre mature detonations. So I’ve heard

When we were kids, we would take a piece of pipe, cap or crimped at one end, drop a firecracker down it, and put a well fitting stone on top to cover the hole. It was our firecracker mortar, and we’d try to hit things on the lake with it. Hours of fun that would be frowned upon nowadays.

Never ever load your cannon with a plastic PVC pipe as it can build up static electricity as the powder slides along the plastic, you were very lucky!

[@kevinrini3402]

Alot of explosives are static resistant, they are stable. You need a blast cap to set many off. Plus they are an actual company with professionals, I think they know this already...

[@Dodo-ze5ep]

...and if it ignited it wouldn't actually explode, it would just burn. So with safety glasses this shouldnt be a problem.....

[@10thleperjohn76]

To me the most interesting thing on the final explosion was how the air at ground level went towards the blast

[@44R0Ndin]

The camera didn't catch it, but there was certainly a shockwave that went outwards first, which left behind an area of significantly lower pressure, which was then balanced out back to normal pressure by a rush of air going back towards ground zero (tho that probably still ended up above atmospheric pressure, because usually explosions take several of these in and out cycles to dissipate).
