Demonstration of the 1422 Lightweight Mortar

In the middle of the Kufstein Testing Grounds, an Austrian Soldier loaded a projectile down into the bore of the standing device; in the next moment, the 60mm shell flew through the air and towards the group of straw targets at the training ground. The moment it impacted, it blew up in a fiery explosion, sending shrapnel in all directions. 

Despite their utter destruction, the weapon was quickly reloaded and fired a second shot on the targets' location. The shell whistled into the air and impacted once more only a few centimeters off its previous mark. 

Berengar witnessed the display of the newest mortar design that Ludwig and his son Jakob had come up with. This lightweight, highly mobile mortar could be deployed either as a crew-served weapon or operated by a single individual.
