They forgot the charge bags, the only reason the round left the tube was because of the primer...round didn't travel far enough to arm...

Must of been made in China, or they bought it from us, left over from Nam, or WW2, or they left it in the Rain.

that happened to me at Ft Stewart Ga, but with a 4.2 inch mortar. Didn't know I could run that fast.

on the flim, that's a 60mm, and it has a bore riding safety, its spring loaded, and is activated by the blast and forward movement of the round and it leaves the round, that's right, leaves the round as soon as it clears the muzzle.they were lucky, no mim\nimum travel needed.
