BP mortar finally finished and fired...with video..

[icehunter121]

1.5 years in the making...its finally up and running. It uses a original m5 60 mm mortar mount...I had to build the base and barrels up for it. 250-300 grains of powder works excellent in it,flash hole is a smidge tight so has to be cleaned after every shot. But its a learning curve and great fun...Enjoy the vid....

That look's nice!!
But I think you missed your target in the background,there.

Maybe a over shot......but gimme a sec...

Target is at about 30 yards....took the bipod off,loaded about 12.. 50 cal round balls into it...I wouldn't want to be any where near the target!!

Hahahaha. Fun! The first shot was about 9 seconds between firing and the guy saying he saw it hit...that's what I call air time!

I made one to fire pop or beer cans full of concrete.
The first thing my brother said was about the long hangtime from firing to impact
