How to lenthen range? Illogical
edit"Since the barrel was fixed at a 45 degree angle, the mortar was already set up to fire the grenade the maximum theoretical distance for a ballistic projectile. To extend the range the entire mortar had to be raised vertically, typically by propping it up on a box". This makes no sense. Raising the barrel above 45 degrees would shorten the range. The only way to increase range at 45 degrees would be to increase propellant charge. Rcbutcher (talk) 05:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
