Would love to see some more recent stuff like this, filmed with an HD cam:)

@puppynamedmoleson100 Yeah, The fuze was still burning so it impacted the ground and probably drove down in the ground about a few feet then exploded. Its better and more effective when the shell explodes above the ground showering everything below it with shrapnel.

did the second mortor round hit the ground then explode?
-
Too cool. My hero,s....

@PsychoScientist007 well the explosive would have been blackpowder or gun cotton in the 1860's and that had a inpact detanator witch plugs the hole that was use to fill the shell
-
@PsychoScientist007 A primary explosive would detonate upon firing due to "set back". An iron ball filled with black powder and a time fuze works just fine.
