The Hydra 60mm Commando mortar is a light infantry mortar used for immediate fire support on squad level. It is manufactured by Hydra Industries in Port Ember.

It is however a very effective and accurate short range indirect weapon, giving a infantry squad a massive firepower boost. Its airburst bomb's capability during anti trench warfare is legendary in the Port Ember Security Forces.



Description

As with other mortars of this type it is intended for rapid use over short ranges as a fire support weapon. The lack of a bipod means it is not as accurate as a conventional mortar and is unsuitable for sustained fire use. The sighting system incorporated in the handle consists of a pair of curved spirit levels one to indicate that it upright in the lateral plane and the other indicates the range with a charge table. Beta lights illuminate the sight for night use.



Ammunition

The following 60mm bombs is available for use with this weapon:

- High Explosive
- Phosphor
- Air Burst
- Smoke
- Ilumination
