Overview
Overview
Lacking the support legs found on mortar intended for use from fixed emplacements, the M6C-series mortars are operated by resting the base plate on the ground while a soldier supports the tube near the muzzle. A single soldier can operate this mortar with little special training, making it a squad-level infantry weapon, trading accuracy for portability. The 60mm mortar has a reach of over 2,000 m, depending on the shell weight and propellant charge being used.
