"These blockbuster bombs don't go off unless you hit them juuuust riiight" (gremlin to bugs bunny) goes through my head every time I see something like this

[DUCKDUDE]

I know it seems there's no detonator cap currently on that mortar round, but that still light up every panic light in my brain.

It’s like watching someone unload a gun, do all the gun clearing steps, and then pointing it at your head and pulling the trigger. Completely safe, just extremely scary to witness regardless

[Brkblr]

*Random standing a block away “Hit it a little harder…”

[keziu]

The round had its fuse removed... it's safe...

[bleakfeather]

That look in his eyes. I've seen that look before. Oorah.

[mariusfrost]

It's like watching someone carrying things past my car, but worse, much worse.

Those mortars are pretty stable. Even laying around in the aftermath of those ammo dump explosions.

[nobandfan]

The kill radius is most certainly larger than a rpg7. Effective at taking out infantry.

[Dave-dm]

You are supposed to screw on the fuse before firing the round. This one has no fuse.

[USSRVR]

if I saw someone bang a mortar shell on the ground I would get the hell out of there I wouldn't trust crap

[zuluhyena]

I guess it's easier to make these then find rpg frag rounds

[USMC_Reaper]

I agree, seeing them smack the mortar like that just plays explosions in my head everytime I see this kinna thing lmao

Hell ive been moddin fireworks since the 70's

In world war 2, there was a modification a soldier could do to replace the rifle grenade for a 60mm mortar round. With a little jerry rigging with the round and grenade launching adapter it became a effective cheap solution. It's even mentioned in books and it's use. Even photographs of it as well. I guess this is a modern day version.

I believe that this makeshift warhead takes out personal better than a standard RPG
Different frag and a bit more of it

[venomousrecon]

Looked like the tip was off of the warhead but still would sketch me out if I walked in a room and dude is beating it on a hard surface 😂

[ToxicMothBoi]

Modifying ANY explosive is quite the "i want to die" move...

To.paraphrase
You go to war with the weapons you have.

[JayConstantine]

Charge tip is missing, you can use it as shovel and it will be safe af. 👍🏻
