Loose Rounds Episode 1 - Mortars

In partnership Nammo, the military history podcast War Stories has launched a new series focused on technologies and innovations that have had a major impact on history, but that are relatively unknown and unexplored. 

This first episode focuses on mortars, and how incremental changes in technology has helped it develop from a heavy piece of siege equipment, to a versatile support weapon for light infantry - while retaining its basic design, as a muzzle loaded weapon intended for indirect fire.
