Any weak point could cause catastrophic failure

true

but aside from that, a mortar is just a tube with a firing pin at the bottom

and you just drop the round in

Well u could use gun powder and a ball

With a fuse

true

but that takes longer

plus, not like a cartridge is even that hard to make

you just need a really big reloading machine

U need a lot of motars

now, back to the flare launchers

lots of them are designed in the fashion of grenade launchers

not really any difference except the ammo being fired

you could easily put a bunch of needles and ball bearings in it

and BOOM

shrapnel grenade

Once u make positive impact on the enemies position then u set every morta to the same angel and distance and fire for effect

Rain hell

aye

a real gun is slightly harder to make tho

the trigger mechanism involves so many tiny parts

and getting the right barrel size is also hell

Ud need to be some sorta of blacksmith specialist

i have a forge and stuff

but all i forge is knives

U any good?

im alright

no forged in fire champion tho

U use Damascus steel?

nah

im a novice

tbh, right now handles are what screws me up

I think I'd rather work with wood

cause no drill i have is capable of drilling through the steel

not the coil spring anyways

i actually have a seax in progress

but the flamethrower interrupted that

Id be interested in making tankards

You dont get it

knives are the ONLY thing i know how to forge
