Knee mortar is another word for Commando mortar

Due to a translation error, the Type 10 was called the "knee mortar" by the Americans. The manual for the mortar instructed the troops to carry the mortar on the upper thigh, with the baseplate attached to the belt and the barrel running down the thigh. American troops on Guadalcanal became aware of the name "knee mortar" and thought the light design allowed it to be fired with the baseplate resting on the thigh. If the Type 10 were fired in this manner, it would result in serious injury due to recoil. However, once a few troops injured themselves, the mistranslation was discovered and further experimentation discouraged.

Google is your friend augugubgugu, it will prevent you from making a fool of yourself.

Your own source does NOT even mention COMMANDO at all, instead of helping you get out of this Monday afternoon trap that you foolishly brought upon yourself as usual, your source proves me right by saying Knee mortar is light mortar.

You are trapped again as usual @Patches....Trapped by own argument

I posted photo of NAF F-7 smoking gun here last month, NAF also confirmed to public that F-7 has been ravaging and damaging Boko Haram.

That warns you about NAF's hot smoking current form in air to surface combat skills and experience.

If NAF can use F-7 to blaast Boko Haram inside cities mixed with houses and innocent civilians, just imagine how easy it is for NAF to target a huge warship sitting alone like a doomed duck on a wide and clear open ocean where your ship is the only object floating there like stark n..a..k..e..d !

NAF is gonna have fun sinking your unlucky Valour frigates

Dude, have you ever heard of a synonym?

This guy arguing over semantics

Knee mortar, commando mortar

Call it what you want

You dont have it

Pic related, Japanes Knee Mortar

Does it look like your light mortar? Does it have a separate bipod and base-plate?

@henry,you are being unfair to buhari.have you forgotten that after buhari overthrew shehu shagari's so called democratic government,he moulded nigeria to become one of the most disciplined and corruption free country of the '70s?,many corrupt policians went into exile,while he{buhari} locked up the rest,he initiated the WAI{war against indiscipline} programme,where everybody;rich and poor,high and low were made to comply to stipulated law,order and regulations or face penalties,in his time whips were used to control unruly behaviour at bus stops!.he refused to devalue the naira,and rejected IMF loan due to the terms and conditions applied,while the economy flourished at $10/barrel of crude oil!.isnt that the type of leader nigeria needs now?,forget about him being a coup plotter,he only plotted the coup due to the high level of corruption in the government.buhari,unlike jonathan,doesnt make thoughtless statement,his statement about "the dog and baboons being covered in blood" was an hausa proverb.

Your top ranking South African universities teach Biology/Anatomy classes and tell them that another word for Knee is Commando?

Top ranking African universities indeed...Soweto squalor infected educational system

You must be mad!!!

agaugust:


Skyhawk was an obsolete 1960s jet with no radar, yet it sank warships in a fleet that has guided anti-aircraft missile frigates and destroyers.

History has proved me right no matter how you Southies try to distort war history.....you all lost this argument....and lost your Valour frigates....sorry I had to use your expensive warships for target practice....am sorry sir.... I was provoked

Nobody was talking about race as well until @aguagust brought it up, same with the education sh;t.

I have stripped your Valour frigate n..a..k..e..d and I find nothing impressive. It's air defense capability is 5 times less than NNS Aradu BVR missiles and multiple long range twin guns

agaugust:


A gun is useless against target that is outside gun range, even if your gun has golden bullets.

Show me proof of maximum anti-air target range of your Dual gun, the only source I see is your mouth

two wrongs cannot make a right bro. But now that you he mentioned sport, then I would like to tell you that southafrica have a very excellent sporting spirit. Compared to her other African counterparts.

This is a knee mortar

Note: the lack of bipod, note sights are permanently attached, note base-plate is permanently attached

Post your "knee mortar"

I understand but a negative+negative make a positive,hahah just joking,but yes i will not dwell of topic if my Nigerian colleagues dont either, but if someone does i will respond period.

Oh and thanks for the sporting comment, you are right, we are a sport mad nation and very competitive(sometimes to competitive).

Nigeria has a guided missile frigate undergoing refit . F-7 jet can sink a frigate for now till Aradu is back from mid-life refit

Which S-13 rockets?

Valour class will be watching your from 180km out, it will maneuver to have you facing the gun

The mortar in question

agaugust:


NAF ATR-42 has been watching your Valour frigate from 330km away and NN coastal radar sees your frigate over 500km away. NA Satellite saw your Valour frigate leave naval base Simons Town from 5,000km away. Nigeria is the current reigning champion African James Bond world class Spy Master !

Henry120:


Are you blind, stup1d or both?

Can you not see the Nigerian mortar posted is a light weight mortar?

Do you even know what a light weight or commando mortar is?

SANDF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MORTARS

agaugust:


Lol, ignoramus mumu. That's a knee mortar that South Africans have been posting their own photos here since last year, boasting that only SANDF has knee mortar in Africa. Lol, Nigeria has it and I posted the photo.

Your SA friends are shocked to see the pic.

mzilakazi:


I beg to differ, a light weight mortar is no knee mortar. A knee mortar can as well comfortably be referred to as commando mortar. Do you even know that the Japanese 50mm Model 89 " Knee " mortar was also categorised as commando mortar. A light weight mortar is something very different from the aforesaid mortar.

overhypedsteve:
never mind. Now go find something to do with evarn.
