	Bambooweb: Mortar (weapon)
		Typically a modern mortar consists of a tube into which is dropped a mortar shell onto a firing pin resulting in the detonation of the propellant and the firing of the shell.
		A mortar round could be aimed to fall directly into trenches where artillery shells, due to their low angle of flight, could not possibly go.
		The largest mortars ever developed were "Mallet's mortar" (developed by Woolwich Arsenal, London in 1857) and the "Little David" (developed in the USA for use in World War II).
