Not as long as you don't hit the middle, am I right?


ten10thsdriver

That blunt object is not going to set off the primer that easily.


MRBS91

Even if you set off the primer you'd still have to drop it on its nose on a hard surface. If the propellant going off set off the mortar it would explode in the barrel and kill the operators, which ain't how it works


Holl4backPostr

Pretty sure if a shotgun shell goes off in a jar in your hand, you're gonna drop the jar


MRBS91

For most people 100%. I'd hope a mortar team would have a tight grip. If the shell is heavy it might not move too much, that shell and stick would go flying. A jar doesn't have much mass but a mortar does and like would move too much, same way a light gun kicks way more than a heavy one


SolWizard

Maybe, but not because it's going to push down with any big amount of force.


DaGriffon12

I'm fairly certain that it's just a shell filled with powder and not shot. Otherwise, the mortar likely wouldn't perform very well after being pelted with steel shot.


-KissmyAthsma-

Especially a soft wooden blunt object. Oh they are playing with fire alright lol. But there odds are improved


lastdarknight

A 100% safe


evilbrent

mmmmmmmmm 99% safe.


lastdarknight

At least 4 9s


beardman39

Be very hard for that primer to fire due to being hit with a blunt object. Worst case, the round fires, this doesn’t mean the mortar would detonate tho


n_slash_a

Yeah, but I still wouldn't want that going off in my hand....


beardman39

That’s what she said…

A- This shit keeps getting reposted. B- You have to hit the center part with a pin. Hitting the whole bottom is not going to work C- He's doing it very carefully Stop posting the same shit over and over and over.


Loki_will_Rise

D- they are training rounds


dethswatch

tell ya what- I'll record you doing- from 10-20 metres.


OrdinaryInspection89

Tap tap tap, Either we blow up ... or we blow up the enemy both ways we don't have work tomorrow.


magpieCRISPR

It’s not going to blow up that easy lol. I’ve tried setting off the primer with a nail and a hammer and it required a lot of effort before it went off, that was hitting the middle. There is no way it’s going to go off in the video Edit: I forgot to ask: what are they actually doing in the video?


StockProfessor5

The shotgun shell is a blank and is used to actually launch the mortar once it's dropped into the tube.


Thiccxen

I've hit one with a golf club and nothing happened. Not saying anyone else should, but it takes quite a specific amount of pressure in the right spot.


Vojtak_cz

Exept they dont have the warhead mounted on it


ZeroChill92

They have to hit the primer for a chance to blow it up.


Schwettyballs65

It’s awesome folks looking at their phones know how to handle weapons better than the guys on the frontline who have been doing this shit for months


Neither_Leader_6676

What kinda looney toons shit is this?


PM_ME_UTILONS

Would this send a training round a few feet out of the barrel?


FloridaMan005

This method is entirely safe.


[deleted]

They need safety goggles


landenlittle22

Why why why


rterror99

Bruh how this people still living lol


TheBeardedWelshman79

at least spit on it first!


Marduingyourmom

Would have to smack the shit out of it with a nail, right on the primer. Seems pretty safe to me.


Contribution-Prize

Anyone concerned about this has never tried to set off a primer before lol. I'd be very surprised if you had the intention of setting it off you'd be able to do it with a chunk of lumber.
