Hirtenberger C6  

Notes: This is a light mortar designed for easy carriage. There are two versions: the C6-110 has a fixed firing pin (rounds are fired only by dropping them down the tube) and the C6-210 has firing pin controlled by a trigger. The C6 is fired hand-held, with a strap to get the correct elevation. The button baseplate is small and circular with a spike to anchor it to the ground.

Hirtenberger M6-111/211

Notes: These are high-quality light mortars made largely from aluminum for light weight and high-strength steel for the barrels. The firing pin can be retracted for safer extraction of the round in a misfire, but the mortars are not designed to be trigger-fired.

Hirtenberger M8-522

Notes: This mortar was designed to offer the same performance as the M8-111, but uses more conventional (and heavier) construction. It is thus more suited to heavy, sustained bombardment from fixed positions.

Hirtenberger M12-1111/2222  

Notes: These are heavy mortars. The barrel is of steel, and the rest is largely of aluminum. It is heavier than the Thompson-Brandt 120mm mortar listed in the Heavy Weapons Handbook, but has better range, and a vehicle-mounted version is available (the M12-2330). The carriage for this mortar is equipped with hooks to facilitate movement by helicopter sling loading.
