It's not just about the BIG guns. π
When it comes to artillery systems, most people would concentrate on the Howitzers, either Self-Propelled or towed, because these are the big guns. Even rocket artillery tend to get more respect.
The one system the layman tends to overlook, because most of the time they don't look very interesting, are the mortars. Such systems are misunderstood because oftentimes, they are actually more flexible than their larger gun or rocket based counterparts. The humble mortar is an integral element of the artillery forces and is a cherished element despite their lack of mainstream acknowledgement simply because they ain't 'big' enough. ~Clorox.
