Weapon Identification

[Marauder06]

Anyone know what this weapon is? It's mounted to a memorial in Jerusalem and I was curious about what it is. It appears to be some kind of mortar but the muzzle is mostly enclosed except for an outlook that looked like it was for some kind of coolant hose. Perplexed about what this is and how it operated.

Looks something like the Davidka but without fins.

Yep, that's pretty much exactly what it looks like. Thanks.

When I walked past it yesterday I thought it looked like a mortar but it appeared the bulb was fused to the tube. Makes sense if it was de-Mil'd and put out in a memorial.

The reviews if this weapon are not glowing. Must be completely symbolic.

It reads like it was the Scud missile of mortar systems.

Well that's neat, but nowhere near as effective or efficient as the Syrian reble 'propane tank mortar system".:-"



I hear they call it the Blasterdurka.

wtf?

Lol. No fuckin' thanks. "Hey man, come load this propane tank into this giant tube so we can try and shoot it."

"Uhhhh, no. GFY."

Agree. Also sounds a lot like "Iran," which is where they got the idea.
