Snerk. "God is Gr"*BOOM*



Now that I've scared off 90% of my F-list, what we have hear is a video if some idiot firing a 60mm mortar (missing the baseplate and bipod) while being filmed.

I love the guys chanting Alluha Akbar.

Despite the title, this isn't a case of counterfire. Instead, the round the soon-to-be-squeegeed guy drops is already armed, and the shock of launch is enough to set it off.

The round detonated in the tube.

Small chance of because it was not properly braced, had a piece of debris in an awkward spot. Possibly because stupid muj leaned over the tube at the wrong instant.

Most likely is because round was armed when fired, which is a no-no.
