Some days ago somebody placed a link, on this site, for the spanish defence ministry historical website. There I found the PDF of a 19th century Krupp Artillery Export catalog. In this I found the picture of an 1883 Krupp light 75mm mortar. The picture shows a soldier just inserting a cylindrical shell into the muzzle of the mortar. The mortar is very small and nearly looks like a toy. I searched the WWW but could not find any info on this mortar. my question is : What type of ammunition was used in this mortar, what type of propellant did it use and how was it ignited ?
