retard here: how do you turn a mortar shell into a grenade? or do you just toss it so it lands nose first where the percussion cap is?

>>64064320 (OP)
It's right there in your webm, they have put a grenade fuse in the nose of the shell.

Idk how its done, but that thing visibly has a UZRGM fuze poking out of the front.

>>64064323
oh, i thought that was the mortar's regular fuse

>>64064320 (OP)
you have to be a special kind of crazy to pick up a nigger rigged mortar, pull the fuse, chuck it in a basement, run and hope you don't get fragged by it.

>>64064394
I would have no problem throwing it into brick and concrete room like this, there is no way I would throw it into a wood and plaster building or be one of the mad lads throwing AT mines with grenade fuses.

>>64064408
>one of the mad lads throwing AT mines with grenade fuses

surely no one does this. i don't think the strongest discus thrower could toss an AT mine far enough to not fuck him up

>>64064538
Do I have a treat for you anon.

no way the first guy survived

>>64064394
Yeah it was a big fucker too. At least an 81mm.

>>64064538
>surely no one does this.


Brother, this war is insane. There is literally nothing I wouldn't believe at this point

>>64064338
you silly billy

individuals who want to keep their life intact dont play with artillery shells like this
the fact that it weighs SIGNIFICANTLY more than a little grenade should be enough of a warning
like fuck, i've heard a story of a fucking civil war artillery shell and a piece landing a mile away in the side of a house, and thats just black powder, you stand next to that building when a shell that size goes off and a brick could easily become a piece of shrapnel, and at the very minimum the concussion it'll cause will hurt like a fucking bitch

>>64064320 (OP)
>The basement looks like the insides of a microwave after you left something too long in it
I feel awful for whoever owned that house; goes to their basement and see's zigger splattered everywhere lmfao

>>64064602
Nah that's definitely a 120mm, the frag casualty radius on that thing is like 75 yards. That guy has insane balls to even pull the damn pin on it

>>64064323
>put a grenade fuse in the nose of the shell.

You can stick the standard RGD fuse into a lot of things. I've seen it stuck in a VOG. Looks sleek and tacticool and easier to EDC.

Here's a tank mine for drone drops rigged with a standard mechanical fuse mostly intended for sapper work.

>>64064545
>just hocks it in through the window
Ive seen some wild stuff in this war but thats insane. Imagine if they had drone footage from WW2 where troops would put AT mines on moving tanks tracks

>>64065214
Fuck we just need something that can drop a 155 and we can clear up the artillery shortage.

>>64064735

Ukraine is game to you?

You're ivory towering too hard. This isn't even the balsiest shit that has happened. Its a standard package of insesitive HE stuck with a very reliable fuse.

War is dirty. The only goal is to kill the other motherfucker. There is risk.

This is an old-world cellar in a small village. (probably) I've only been to one, but it was dug into solid earth that has had decades to settle. Not a Mcmansion with white pine board built on top of a concrete box we call a "basement" state-side. It will absorb any and all fragmentation coming out or trying to get in, but is generally used to overwinter potatoes and beetroots at constant temperature.

They have been dropping 155mm from Baba Yaga's for awhile now.

Fucking balls it takes or a lack of selfpreservation is insane. I understand it is kill or be killed often but how is this move worth the risk?
Do soldiers go mentally numb after years of war?

>>64064918
he threw it into a cellar. he'd only get frag coming his way if he stood in front of the stairway

>>64064320 (OP)
Classy

>>64065312
Russians frequently use outright suicidal tactics.
They know they're disposable meat, their own command torture and sexually abuse them if they refuse to obey such orders.

>>64064394
>n****r rigged

can we not

>>64065312
Slavs for whatever reason have no concept of self-preservation
Doesn't really even depend on the brand of Slav

>>64065312
>>64065813
To be fair to the slavs, "chuck a big fucking bomb at them and run away" has been a tactic for as long as big fucking bombs have been a thing. Give grunts some access to explosives for door breaching/demolitions/whatever and no matter what your books say to do, the odds of someone hucking a bundle of it through a window and running like a madman approaches 1 as the frequency of close quarters combat increases.

Also I don't think a 120mm mortar grenade is that unreasonable if you're expecting to clear out bunkers, trenches, and rat holes. HE is a motherfucker but not so much when you're on the outside of the trench/bunker with a good few meters of dirt diverting the blast away from you. It looks like the building the guy ran behind didn't even move despite the big boom. I still wouldn't volunteer to throw it, mind you.

>>64065312
>Do soldiers go mentally numb after years of war?
Yes

>>64065802
get used to it, tourist

>>64065802
censoring language is gay

>>64064320 (OP)
You remove the fuse, then you remove the steel cup that sits on the ring between the fuse neck and the main body of the shell. Underneath this cup is a tablet of smokeless power - remove that one too. Afterthe previous stages are complete you take a stick of industrial grade TATP and smash it into the neck untill you fill it all the way up to the neck ring. Once that is complete, take a can of AF14 hand-greande fuzes, remove the plastic cap covering the fuse and shove it into the TATP. Finally take a roll of electrician tape and rap it around the neck.

>>64065289
155 doesn't have to be this THICK when it is not going to experience 100gs or whatever the fuck when shot out of barrel.

But making thinner walled 155 is not logistically practical?

>>64067365
Nigger you seem experienced in this

>>64065802
No. In fact we have to.

>>64067365
lmao

>>64065802
I am sorry, I will never use the n-word (nigger) again

I do not understand why the word "nigger" upsets you so much, though. Are you one of these "niggers" or a "nigger"-sympathizer yourself?

>>64067365
>TATP.

never would I fuckimg ever. There has to be better primaries.
