M19 60mm Mortar

Using the same ammunitions as the M2 60mm mortar, but lighter weight and with greater freedom in addressing elevation and traverse angles, the M19 was also less accurate. It saw moderate action in Vietnam as well as Korea, mainly to deliver smoke screens during the day and illuminate the immediate battlefield at night.
