2. The clamp is tightened to prevent it from moving upwards during firing in the higher loads:
• This firstly creates a difficulty to release the clamp. This must happen now with both hands, causing the mortar barrel can not be supported. By using a rope with different pieces to open the clamp band because it is almost impossible manually.
• When firing the ammunition ILL Fish (IMI) came stuck several bombs at the height of the clamp. This can only be solved by repeatedly hitting it with a hammer. This drill is provided in case there is moisture around the obturator of the ammunition and the air can not escape. However, I suspect that it is due to the contraction of the clamping band and the very slightly deforming the tube.
• For the ILL does this occur in 30% of the bombs that were loaded (12/32).
• The people of SIA (Adjt Jardon) had already noticed during testing by their calibers that there was a problem in several pieces. They have asked for a full explanation to the firm.
