I fired the 81 mm (M29A1) ground and tracked versions (M125) and the 4.2 inch (M30) ground and tracked versions (M106). I saw 60 mm mortar fire demonstrated but never actually fired. I know the M252 81mm is replacing the M29A1.

I spent 7 years on the 60mm mortar, 7 years on the 81mm mortar, and 6 years on the 120mm mortar. Although I never fired the 60mm in combat (I did with the other 2), I loved the 60mm! I was Airborne in Panama, Ft Bragg, and Alaska with the 60mm and I loved every minute of the suck! It was definately some of the most fun I have had in my career!

The 60mm is undoubtedly fun to fire, especially with the trigger. It's just that the 720 HE is about as powerful as a hand grenade. Don't get me wrong, MSGT, I'd pay hard cash to have had the chance to rock a guy in the chest with one. Bang for buck; the 81 trailer mount is more of our workhorse...the 121 is the best value simply because the MFCS provides a good crew with a versatile weapon, lots of diversity in options with the fuzes, a relatively small CEP with a larger blast radius and the ability to go from cruising in the 1064 to ready to rain hell on a 13 digit grid in less than 30 seconds. There is simply nothing not badass about that.

120MM all day. I actually started with 81MM when i was in Drum but when i got to Korea and started blasting off from the tracks it was great. Plus the 120 could go ground too so double the fun
