4.2 inch Mortar
A replica of a WW2 4.2 inch chemical mortar.
Valve: 3 inch serviceable piston
Porting: 2.375
Barrel: 2.625
Construction: Steel
Piloting: .5 QEV
Trigger: Blowgun
Action: Breech loading
HopUp: No
Pressure range: 290 psi (burst pressure of hose, Chamber pressure tested up to 300 psi.)
Range: 400-600 (Estimated, actual unknown due to ammo & terrain)
Reenactment/Training Ammo: Tennis balls, Saboted Nerfs, Bee-hives
Other ammo: Full soda/beer cans
To bombard targets I launch in 6+ Tennis balls at once.
Close up of the QEV and trigger.
Picture of the internals before the slip inside the outer 4" shell.
Close up of the breech system.
Painted and finished.

Wow I likey. It looks realy cool. If you would like to get more range I suggest injecting the tennis balls with water you know the old foam ball vs. baseball thing correct?
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

Man this thing is one cool customer...and I'll bet one heavy mother.. 8) My favorite thing is the hitch ball pivot point and the overall replica mortar aiming setup and paint job...beautiful!!
Great work on the breech loading system as well. Very well done!!!
Edit: Do you have any shots of your piston design and setup? Oh and...the dangly air gun looks a little, well, dangly. Is there any way you could hard pipe that or tie it down better?

wow i looks like all you need now is some mustard gas
i quite like the overall look at first glance i thought you got a demilled mortar {if that is even possible} and put in a piston
the mortar looks like the real deal
i bet it really makes the neighbors jumpy when you bring that thing out
i would have never thought of using a trailer ball hitch on the bottom
very smart!

Looks awesome.
But I like the naked look where you can see the parts more then the covered one, but thats just me.
With those pressures, this thing is a beast!
