Derk Derin and I fired a round off in the front yard a bunch of years back. Much louder than I expected, and it flew so far we never did find it. Luckily it was just a run of the mill para round.

Someone will be getting a bargain, and a unique item to display in a carrier. If anyone has the transit crate for the mortar they want to part with, let me know.

Your neighbours must sleep well knowing there are a couple of old dudes telling lies and drinking beer next door and sending the odd mortar round out to places unknown from their beer drinking/BBQ pit/..
You better bring your buddy Derk down to our annual Rusty Old Truckers,(ROTter's)(Bob'sBBQ)BBQ/CMP/beer drinking/lie telling session in June where you talents are truly appreciated..
You neighbours then could sleep easy for a few days..Great story..obviously true ..too nutso to be a lie..
