A supply of British 2 inch mortar rounds, "Toffee Apples", stashed in a reserve trench.

Don't see any fins. Did these just tumble through the air after being fired?

[-]

They did tumble, but were accurate out to 350 yards. They had a max range close to 600 yards

[-]

To be fair you don’t need good accuracy if you have a big enough warhead

[-]

The Soviet approach! But in all seriousness, they do seem to have an impact and timed fuse. So they needed to land somewhat on their noses I'd think?

Or does the tail tube make for a rudimentary stabilizer, like the wooden stick on a skyrocket?

[-]

I would think so. Lot harder to tumble with that stick hanging off the back

[-]

Someone with access to a welder and some gunpowder needs to test this lol

[-]

To be clear, the stem/spigot is 2 inches. The warhead is much larger

[-]

I was going to ask..

[-]

Taking cover in there during a push and having a grenade land at your feet would lead to a very unwelcome surprise.

[-]

At least it'll be quick 😬
