Helwan 60mm
Notes: This is basically a copy of the Chinese Type 63-1 mini-mortar and differs from that weapon in few details. The biggest change is the carrying handle on the barrel, allowing the mortar to be lugged by one man over short distances in one piece.

Notes: This Egyptian 82mm mortar is basically a copy of the Russian M-1937 mortar with a lighter Thompson-Brandt/TDA baseplate. A special mortar shell was developed for this mortar, which has a range of 5500m (the M-1937 can also fire this shell).
