I was looking at the flat base mortars at "blackpowder-cannons.com". very reasonable price on the golf ball mortars and I think it would be a hoot with exploding shells/aerial bombs. My question is about the rod sticking out to the rear on the left trunnion, what is the purpose?
I've been making exploding shells for my homemade 16 gauge mortar using 5/8" OD cardboard tubes with a 20-30 grain ffg launching charge and have the fuse length pretty well worked out but would like a bigger aerial bang. The golf ball mortar could launch the 1 5/8" plastic ball shells for a good loud aerial blast.
Coyotejoe, I moved your post out of the classifieds and here to the discussion board. Please no discussion posts in the classifieds.

Lets say that a little simpler...we don't know enough to keep you from blowing yourself up or to keep you from getting arrested. We also don't do bail. There for pyrotechniques discussions are off limits in this forum.
A bit of confession, the subject does interest me. I would like to learn more.
If the there was some one with the technical knowledge and legal expertise who would be willing moderate a discussion forum on home built Pyrotechniques, please step forward. I will help you start the process to see if a forum can be started on GBO. Better be what you say you are as the folks here have sharp knives and no mercy.
