<p><font size="4">The Photon Mortar fires rounds <br />
similar to the Photon Grenade, only larger. <br />
and for longer distances. The Photon Mortar <br />
is operated two man teams. One man carries <br />
the mortar on a back mount, the other additional <br />
mortar shells, and the base, allowing both <br />
men to carry rifles.<br><br><br />
<br />
The round is loaded dropped into the muzzle, <br />
and a magnetic pulse launches it. The pulse <br />
can also can also impart spin, allowing for <br />
indirect fire in microgravity environments. <br />
While worn, the Mortar can be fired for a <br />
range up to 1 mile/1.6 km. fully assembled <br />
it's effective range is raised to 3 miles/4.8 <br />
km. <br><br />

<b>STATISTICAL INFORMATION: </b><br><br />
1. <i>Width: </i>4 in/101 mm<br><br />
Base: 12 in/ 304/mm<br><br />
2. <i>Length:</i> 36 in/ 914 mm<br><br />
<br />
Base: 18 in/ 457<br><br />
3. <i>Weight: </i>15 lbs/9 kg<br><br />
Base is 5lbs/2.2 kg<br><br />
<br><br />
<i>Total energy reserve</i>: 4 hours of sustained <br />
firing before power pack must be replaced. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<b>FIRING MODES: </b><br><br />
<i>Single shot..</i> Round is entered into <br />
breach, and fired. A skilled team can sustain <br />
an accurate fire of 16 shells per minute.<br><br />
<br><br />
<b>MORTAR SHELL INFORMATION</b><br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
1.<i> Diameter</i>: 81mm~3.1 inch <br><br />
2. <i>Height:</i> 157mm~6.2 inch<br><br />
3. <i>Weight</i>: .375 grams ~13.2 oz. <br><br />
<br />
Power settings: Shell can be set to settings <br />
1-16, with roughly twice the radius of a standard <br />
photon grenade. <br><br />
<br><br />
<i>Total energy reserve</i>: 4.0x10^6 megajoulles. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<b>TARGETING</b><br><br />
Team can either use the sight, or information <br />
from the Pallas Helmet/Taccorders. <br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<b>MAINTENANCE: </b><br><br />
Magnetic field integrity maintenance should <br />
be undertaken after sustained firing or disuse.</font></p><br />
