[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] Jason, that is what I fired in the army, mortars, 11C is the MOS, 4.2in/107mm and 81mm. WP isn't like napalm, but it does burn in to the skin and not go out, till you smother it anyway. Something like desert sand would work nicely.... I am not defending the danger close firing in to civilian areas, but firing them at night, moonlite nights, still helps with obsurement. The part that would cause the problem is the adjustment of the rounds, to get them on target, by means of bracketing. It is very rare that you get a first round on target, so even if the actual target is not particularly close to civilian areas rounds can get in to them. Mortars are very accurate, after you have them aimed, but getting them aimed can be a bitch for a newly trained FO, Forward Observer, or a barely trained person. Some MPs received basic FO training when I was serving. This, compounded with the nearness of civilians, should have had the commanding officer a bit reluctant to use these weapons. Mk19 grenade lauchers, and regular hand grenades, can be employed to do the same thing, with both WP and CS as options. [/QB][/QUOTE]
