The 81mm mortar is not just mean [sic] to be a good support weapon.
It is a good powerful weapon even in assualt[sic] mission.
Yes they do train some folks that mortar needs a fire support
team.
But there are other way[sic] to deploy the 81mm mortar, we can to
do assault with it and to handle it on our own - one person -
[b]not even using bipod
(the mortar is only 31
kgs without the bipod, 43.6 with bipod). Each mortar - 1 mortar man
with ammo (each only 4kgs). Those with M16s only will help to carry the extra
ammos. Oh hell
isn't that why it is called a team effort? Ha ha ha
...
Just because everyone is so lousy trained[sic] - it doesn't mean
that you must have 3 person then can use an 81mm mortar, please do
not assume other units or people in all armies in the
world are not better train till one mortar man can ownself
use an 81mm mortar!!!
Hmm, wonder if I can extend the argument to a 120mm mortar
- after all, I spent the whole reservist with a similarly armed
weapon.
Now let's see. If the commander can be trained to drive the Primus,
then he can deploy the SPH. Preparing and loading a 155 projectile
is a one person job, and so is preparing and loading the charge.
The commander can then lay the weapon and fire the gun. The
commander can do it all himself!!!
HEY !!! I HAVE SOLVED THE ENTIRE SAF MANPOWER PROBLEM
HA...HA...HA...

Dragonstar a 120mm mortar weight 31 kg to compare it with a
about 10kg gun ? Also a mortar round is how heavy and a 7.62 round
is how heavy. Man you sure fail maths!
Anyway you will be the first person to go down in history who wil
bring a 120mm mortar and do a assualt charge right into the enemy.
Possible it a good try to make the enemy die from laughing.
We are just telling Baer how other units use the GPMG ! And we have
personally done that 1 person as GMPG gunner with other carry m16
carry the extra ammos. For you dragonstar, please have some respect
for yourself, and if you have not done that with a 120mm mortar
then don't talkcock.
I am just tell you how others and armies in the world are using the
GMPG.
