Wow. Most of that shit I wouldn't touch with a... Fuck, a 200' fuse behind cover?

The "nebelwerfer" setup, the multiple launch rocket system was probably the best/safest setup they had.

I heard they actually have a few weapon designers that can design and build viable weapon systems, although most of those did not look it. With the exception of the multiple rocket launcher.

That 120mm with the oven sized brake has to be more like a mortar at best. Most of the charge is just being blown away. What a bunch of junk. They'd have been better off IMO using spring loaded spigot mortars and mass producing their own shells. Instead of a million shitty designs. Oh well, maybe it's all they had to work with since they squandered so much.
 
You don't think there would be some concussive damage on a 300+fps impact? I would think that the tank would shatter and all that liquid fuel igniting and being dispersed at once would cause a significant pressure wave... I've only blown up one of those small, green Coleman bottles, but it blew out a lantern about thirty yards away. Obviously not anywhere near a cellulous or putty explosive, but a pretty good improvisation if it would actually hold together and survive being launched from a tube.

I'm with @Strykervet though, I wouldn't be anywhere near any of that shit when it went off (especially the propane tank mortar).
 
The propane tank- like a dart- should be weight stabilized.. all the weight is forward.... bullets are spin stabilized so the weight can be in the rear

propane just could not do much damage... big flash- start a home on fire?
While that is true, air has to flow over a darts fins, same as an arrow or a mortar. The thing is so short and the tank so fat, I question how much actual air gets to the fins.

Assuming it is just filled with propane yes. I see it as a flying pressure cooker, filled with explosives. They have welded fittings to it to put what ever they like inside.
 
Hi,

FWIW the propane tank contraption is called a "Lob Bomb". It is filled with explosives and shrapnel.
They are also used to deliver chemical agents, particularly chlorine gas in Syria.

Sincerely,

Thanks,
Range in excess of 1000 meters. Well shit, that will not do. Howitzer something like 11 miles standard round (RAP Round almost 19).

JM can take those manning that turd (although elegant in it's own way) with 9mm.

 
In high school I made a cannon that shot those lil V8 juice cans filled wth sand. We didnt have rangefinders but with homemade bp and pull down powder they would go atleast a mile. Pretty sad when FFA kids build better shit than your army.
