An updated 4.2 inch mortar (+0.5 inch) with a lanyard activated firing pin and rubber tires. What's to speshul about that? The lanyard firing pin is an old idea seeing the light of day again. Next, they will be putting the tube into an APC.
The speshul part might be that the USMC got some new warfighting gear at all.When it comes to funding, the USMC ranks way at the bottom of the barrel. Below USAF enlisted entertainment, actually.Semper Fi-Grimmy
