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.

Okay, my lack of knowledge about artillery is coming into play.

What I know about mortars is something like this:

-Tube is aimed in the general direction of target.
-round is dropped into tube, which launches it towards target.
-tube is adjusted until trajectory is where you want it to be.
-fire for effect.

So, what wrong for this kalb?
