Question

What is Mortar? Why it works

Answer 1

The modern mortar is a muzzle-loaded weapon and relatively simple to operate. It consists of a tube into which the gunners drop a mortar round. When the round reaches the base of the tube it hits a fixed firing pin that fires the round. ... Some mortars have a moving firing pin, operated by a lanyard or trigger mechanism.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mortar is a workable paste which hardens to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units, to fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, spread the weight of them evenly, and sometimes to add decorative colors or patterns to masonry walls.
