| The 60mm mortar is considered a light mortar. The M224 provides air assault, airborne, ranger, and light infantry rifle companies with an effective, efficient weapon. The inherent limitations of a light mortar (short-range and small-explosive charge) can be minimized by careful planning thorough knowledge of its capabilities. The M224 can be employed in several different configurations. The lightest weighs about 18 pounds; the heaviest weighs about 45 pounds. Each round weighs about 4 pounds. |
