The L16 81mm smoothbore, muzzle-loaded mortar was collaboratively developed by Canada and the UK during the 1960s. Adopted by the US military in 1984 as the M252, it underwent an upgrade in December 2014, resulting in the introduction of the M252A1 Lightweight 81mm Mortar System. This enhanced version boasts a higher rate of fire, extended range, and reduced overall weight compared to its

predecessor.
