MK 82 81-MM Mortar

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for pictures of the French MK82, 81-MM, HE mortar. I am also looking for any good data on the item as well.



This is all I have right now: http://ordata.info/ordnance?id=http://cord.gichd.org/ontology#Projectile1544

Thanks,

Joe,


I don't know any french 81mm MK82 mortar shell. I went through some pubs from 1966 to 2005.

There are two mortar shells with a similar profile, OE81F1 and OE81F2 (81mm HE mortar shell model F1 and F2)



The F1 one height (left pic) is 449mm. The fuze visible part height is 81mm. This means projectile alone is 368mm, which is consistent with dimensions given on CORD page. F1 weight 4560g, loaded with 620g tolite. I don't know more about model F2 than a weight of 4500g.

Regards,

S.
