British Army Mortar Designations(2,3,4.2-inch)

[Kwon]

Dear members,


I am looking for detailed technical data and cross-section images of British mortar ammunition—specifically for the 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4.2-inch mortars.


I am particularly interested in the internal structures and fuzing mechanisms of the following types:


• HE

Smoke


• WP


• Illumination


If anyone has scanned copies of Technical Manuals (TM) or high-resolution diagrams showing the internal components, I would be most grateful if you could share them.


If it is more convenient, please feel free to send any relevant files to my email address: trew2003@gmail.com


Thank you very much for your time and assistance.


Best regards,

Thank you for the feedback.

I have already reviewed the 2-inch material.

I recently recovered 3-inch mortar rounds after an RSP. Since the MK2 and MK3 have identical exterior shapes, I am looking for diagrams to understand how to distinguish between HE (High Explosive) and WP (White Phosphorus) when they are identified in the field. There is not much data available on British ammunition, so I am reaching out to you.

Your data saves my life.

I am currently collecting data on 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4.2-inch mortars for my records. If you have internal structural diagrams for each type, please share them with m

Would anyone who owns this manual be willing to share the diagrams for the 3-inch mortar variants?

Sorry to be obtuse, but if you are conducting RSP on UXO then you should be operating under a tech support regime which should be able to supply information of this sort.

EOD tech data for support of RSP is not something you should be seeking on a public collectors web site! There are international arrangements for sharing tech data which are accessible by bona fide EOD authorities.

제가 잘 이해하지 못해서 죄송하지만, 불발탄 제거 작업을 진행 중이시라면 기술 지원 체계 하에 운영되어야 하며, 해당 체계에서 이러한 종류의 정보를 제공받을 수 있어야 합니다.

RSP 지원을 위한 EOD 기술 데이터는 공개 수집가 웹사이트에서 찾아볼 만한 것이 아닙니다! EOD 관련 기술 데이터 공유를 위한 국제 협약이 있으며, 해당 협약은 정식 EOD 담당자만 이용할 수 있습니다.

Yes, I understand this is a sensitive matter.


I will only use the information for reference.


Since British ammunition is unfamiliar to me, I was simply looking for data to study it further.
