Commando Mortar
Notes: The Commando Mortar is a very lightweight and basic mortar, designed for use as a section- or platoon-level weapon. It has a much shorter range than a normal 60mm mortar, but is only supposed to fill the range gap between the effective range of a 40mm grenade launcher and the minimum safety distance of a regular 81mm mortar or artillery. The M4 Mk1 model is the more sophisticated model, with the better sight. The M4 L3 model relies on a strap to get the correct elevation, and a simple line down the barrel for direction. This results in a shorter range.

L-16A2
Notes: This medium mortar is used by 39 countries, including in a modified form by the United States, who call it the M-252. The barrel is made very strong to be able to fire the entire range of 81mm rounds available in the world. The muzzle has a collar to aid loading, and the barrel is partially finned to aid cooling. The sight is Canadian, called the C2, and this sight can also be used on the L-7A2 when it is set in the sustained support role.
