Yeah because the explosion is faked, they fired a wooden or resin projectile more than likely, the explosion from some generic low power explosive.

[@bigusdickus455]

@@Kav. They fired no projectile. Smoke, mirrors and CGI.

[@Kav.]

Doesn't look CGI to me, if you pause it it looks far more like a fake projectile than a CGI one. It wouldn't be hard to make a wooden or resin fake and more than likely a company already produces them. It would also explain the pop from the muzzle. If you pause at 6:14 you can see something definitely leaves, most likely they used a very weak charge and got the special effects team to work up the practical effect. It obviously wasn't a live projectile but I'm pretty confident it did fire something, as in a resin or wooden dummy.

[@willd5105]

What was the range on that shot? Seemed like a dead on hit in the middle of that target shack, which would be odd for a weapon of this type and age; and no ranging shot for calibration? Let me say what I think we are seeing here; the mortar fired an inert training round with a minimal powder charge and cut-paste a shot of the 'target' being demolished with an electronically triggered tannerite charge. I get it, it is generally impossible to convince the government to allow a civilian to discharge flying high explosive ordnance, but just be honest about it.

[@Historiamaximus]

Yeah mate. 100% fake. That's why the pneumatic recoil system did not engage. Not enough recoil from that little Hollywood black powder charge they used. And I direct hit because they didn't fire anything. They just put some pyrotechnics in the "target". All for views.

[@eastindiaV]

It looks like they shot a chalk round into some tannerite... as long as it shoots the projectile, it would work with live ammo. And the barrel is rifled, hence the accuracy You can see a huge white cloud next to the explosion, that's chalk dust

[@eastindiaV]

@@callusdoc just a training round, everything else is real. The explosion looks like gasoline and tannerite

[@russg1801]

Now tell me where they found a stash of hundred year old German mortar rounds?

[@94buick70]

If this were to be genuine, I bet they would have made the rounds themselves or found someone who makes them. I strongly feel that the original rounds would have been extremely dangerous and unreliable at best. It is almost impossible to keep 100 year old rounds in near factory condition.

[@DerKeksDerVerdammnis]

The explosions don't look like a mortar or artillery shell, I think that is fake.

[@turnupthesun81]

@@DerKeksDerVerdammnis I was wondering the same thing. Is it even safe to fire a heavy mortar round through a 100 year old weapon? My son has a Winchester 1917 and those old weapons are very iffy because of all the time that’s passed.

how the hell do you get a minenwerfer over the english border

FAKE as HELL! All they did was light off a black powder charge in the mortar. Then detonated another charge later in the field. Pretty bad CGI of a projectile leaving the barrel. Notice almost ZERO recoil and the blast from the touch hole as if were a Civil War cannon. Just as fake as their Panzershrek video where they fire a model rocket motor out of it and detonated a boat separately with black powder and gasoline. PS: you might want to tone down the overly done excitement.
