Armament 81 mm mortars Development By US Army Ordnance to satisfy military requirement for a training round. Description Unlike most mortar ammunition, this round is issued in separate components to facilitate replacement of worn, damaged, or expended components. The complete round consists of an inert projectile, a fin assembly and an ignition cartridge. The pear shaped body is made of cast iron and has no provision for a fuze. The base is internally threaded to accept the fin assembly. Since the projectile is
inert, there is no detonation upon impact and it may be recovered and reused. This round is obsolescent in US service, although it may be encountered in other countries. Manufacturer US Army contractors.
