CSP_M224

The M224 is a light weight 60mm mortar used by the US Army and Marines. Being the smallest mortar in the US inventory, the weapon and ammo it can easily be broken down and carried by the crew over relatively long distances, making it the indirect fire weapon of choice for light infantry. It can fire HE (quick and VT fused), Illumination (regular and IR), and White Phosphorus rounds out to a range of almost 3.5km. While the 60mm round may be light for a mortar, the M224 can sustain an impressive rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute.
