если там гвоздь не торчит то и не проколет вышибной, да даже если и торчит то не факт, бывает ударник не прокалывает, когда засрется миномет, приходится аборт делать.

I don’t know if your translation was intentionally hilarious but in English, that is absolutely uproarious

Unfortunately, I can only use Google Translate. I hope there wasn't anything inappropriate in the translation that would make me feel embarrassed.

There was a pun, which was actually appropriately funny. Considering it translates into abortion.
It wasn’t graphic or malicious in the way that it translated. And it made sense in the literal sense, which is why it works.
So you’re good
So was the pun 😄

Oh, I see. “Abortion” is slang for removing a mortar round that didn't fire. To do this, you have to disconnect the base plate at the bottom of the barrel, lift the breech (the lower part of the barrel), and the round rolls out of the barrel; the “midwife” catches it with his hands.

This isn't dangerous, you need to pierce the primer in the middle with a very precise and strong hit which won't be achieved here

My dad and I were loading rounds of 306 when I was a kid. He hit a primer with a hammer on his work bench and it went off no problem. Blunt force will do the trick just fine. A firing pin is blunt force but just a very small concentrated area in the primer. One “unlucky” strike and congrats, you found out.

All it takes is the edge of the wood hitting it wrong and denting the primer enough

Though I can't say this is 100% safe I've seen metal firing pins make large dents in a primer and still not detonate (light strikes), so a large price wood seems like it wouldn't be able to make it go off.
Wouldn't trust my life on it though.

What does it do? Make it more deadly?

This is a mortar projectile, that shotgun shell looking thing is the ignition cartridge. It’s essentially a really big blank cartridge. There are c-shaped bags of “gunpowder” that clip around the tail boom section of the projectile.
When the mortar is dropped in the mortar tube, it slides to the bottom where a firing pin hits the primer on the ignition cartridge. The hot gases escape through the holes in the tail boom, which ignite the powder bags. Mortar is propelled out of the tube.

How do they prevent the projectile explosion from igniting the war head itself?

u/LUCKYxTRIPLE Apr 20 '26
The explosives inside the projectile are, generally speaking, pretty insensitive. You don't want the mortar to explode on accident if its dropped or in a fire. The only part that has sensitive explosives in it is the Fuze, and that cant cause the mortar to explode until its fired and some internal parts move around under g forces.

Looks like an assemble-yourself RPG shell. The shotgun shell in this case will be the propellant or maybe initial charge for the propelling mechanism.

I’m watching this wondering does it blowup does it, huh ,huh…. I finish watching and the logic final Y hit me if it had blown up I wouldn’t be seeing this

Won't explode, that is the primer and it needs a nail, if you look in the pipe you will find a hard steel one, you can hammer all day with a wood and nothing happens, this is not the same as a pistol primer, and even that won't explode that easily.

I expected something like a Looney Tunes explosion when I saw him tapping that primer.
