Russian shop made Mortar

[Dresden]

I think these were made at Stlingrad, and shot a round bomb, any other info out there?

This one has welded firing pins, the half round rim holder looks like it takes a shot gun blank, the barrel has a perforated plate
to separate the bomb from the direct blast of the blank. It looks like a Northover on steroids.

It`s Ampulomet and produced not only in Stalingrad. Produced started before WWII.

Thanks, It is hard to find information about Russian ordnance. Russian grenades are interesting as well.
