Abstract

A breech loading mortar system is described, the system having means to prevent a round of ammunition from either sliding backwards before the breech can be closed or forwards when the barrel is depressed. The means for preventing the backwards sliding of the ammunition are resiliently biased latch means (64) mounted in recesses in the breech block of the mortar. The means (51) for preventing the forward sliding of the ammunition are mounted on the ammunition itself.
