What was the range on that shot? Seemed like a dead on hit in the middle of that target shack, which would be odd for a weapon of this type and age; and no ranging shot for calibration? Let me say what I think we are seeing here; the mortar fired an inert training round with a minimal powder charge and cut-paste a shot of the 'target' being demolished with an electronically triggered tannerite charge. I get it, it is generally impossible to convince the government to allow a civilian to discharge flying high explosive ordnance, but just be honest about it.

@Historiamaximus 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah mate. 100% fake. That's why the pneumatic recoil system did not engage. Not enough recoil from that little Hollywood black powder charge they used. And I direct hit because they didn't fire anything. They just put some pyrotechnics in the "target". All for views.

@eastindiaV Жыл бұрын

It looks like they shot a chalk round into some tannerite... as long as it shoots the projectile, it would work with live ammo. And the barrel is rifled, hence the accuracy You can see a huge white cloud next to the explosion, that's chalk dust

@Kav. 5 жыл бұрын

Doesn't look CGI to me, if you pause it it looks far more like a fake projectile than a CGI one. It wouldn't be hard to make a wooden or resin fake and more than likely a company already produces them. It would also explain the pop from the muzzle. If you pause at 6:14 you can see something definitely leaves, most likely they used a very weak charge and got the special effects team to work up the practical effect. It obviously wasn't a live projectile but I'm pretty confident it did fire something, as in a resin or wooden dummy.
