Armament 2 in infantry mortars of British pattern. Development Based upon the original British `bomb, HE, ML 2 in Mortar Mk 1', this was manufactured in India for the British Army before Independence. The mortar and its ammunition were retained and are still in use by the Indian Army. Description The bomb consists of a drawn steel body, to which a welded steel six-fin tail unit is attached by screwing to a spigot on the body. The walls are parallel and the nose screwed to accept a percussion fuze based on the
British Fuze No 161. The bomb is filled TNT. The propelling charge consists of a primary cartridge inserted into the centre of the tail unit; no secondary charges are used and ranging is controlled solely by the elevation of the mortar barrel.
