My company and Historic Ordnance Videos of CA are putting some of their 1980's productions on YouTube.  Here's one.  (modified text) Sorry I thought this one had a Norm in it, but it is the next one on mortars.

This was the first time that I got to fire explosive shells, and the only time that I have worn a "captured" Yankee uniform.

I especially liked the mortar video. It cleared up a few questions such as why the mortar bed is shaped like it is and how they were aimed.

Civil War artillery isn't exactly my thing but these were interesting and very informative.  Enjoyed watching them,  thanks for posting!
