About

Double loading of mortar ammunition has resulted in catastrophic accidents. Loading a mortar weapon with two men (alternately) can be very dangerous and could prove fatal. Even with one-man loading, double loading can occur. This is especially true in rapid fire exercises. For this reason, it is imperative that there be absolute certainty that the previous round left the mortar tube before a new round is dropped in. • Upon releasing cartridge, pass hands downward and, at the same time, turn away from muzzle of mortar cannon to avoid blast which occurs when cartridge fires. • Do not try to force a cartridge down mortar cannon. • If misfire procedure does not cause the cartridge to fire and mortar is hot, wait until the mortar is cool enough to move with bare hands, or if the mortar is cool at the time of the misfire, wait one minute before removing the cartridge.
