In part three of our 11-part series with Curator of the Southeast Military Museum Craig Bird, we take a look at a weapon that, while not used in Canada anymore, is still used by other countries around the world.

The 2-inch (51mm) Mortar Canon is a very versatile weapon that is operated by two to three users, but can be carried by just one soldier with the shoulder strap. The only reason Canadians no longer use it is because the Americans use a larger 60mm motor, which is easier to get ammunition for thanks to their proximity.
