US Mortars?

[vinnyw]

Yeah... about that. I'm from Brazil, and here you cannot have any military stuff... I mean, in the best scenario, they would take the mortar from me, and the worst, I could be arrested for illegal possession.

A year ago, the federal police took the whole collection of a history teacher near my neiboor. He had a WWII collection of guns, mortars, helmets, gas-masks, etc... I mean, nothing was working... some old lady must have told the police about it, and they made a fiasco... They broked into his house with guns and everything... a mess. I guess they're trying to show some work...


Oh and yes, there is a missing fin in the tail, don't know why. The only thing that's different from the M69 is the baffles on the side of it.

I wish you luck with that stuff,and welcome to BOCN.

Hi Yodamaster,

I Like the illustrations that you posted of the US M49A1 Mortar. Do you have this file (that you sourced these illustrations from) in a format that you can upload for other BOCN members to download. I would very much appreciate a copy as even though my primary interest is in Japanese I also have a interest in WWII US and Australian Ordnance as well.

Many thanks,
Cheers,
