I had a 4 duce mortar misfire in Graff back in 1990. E trp 2nd 11acr
Since I dropped the misfire round, running away was not an option.
Running away may be current operating procedure, but I had to stay with the tube.
Check out my last ftx movie, it has my misfire stuck round.

@JemmetGK o ok. thanks. did you use a 60mm or 81 or the 120 22 yrs ago?

Wait a specified time (been 22 years, I can't remember how long to wait), couple minutes. Then Squad Leader steps up to the mortar and (I know it sounds silly) kicks the base of the mortar tube, if it still doesn't fire, then the crew steps up to it. Puts a sandbag on the ground where the mouth of the tube will come down to, unlocks it from the baseplate, tilts it forward until the shell comes to rest on the sandbag. Then shell is taken a hundred feet away for later disposal.

I can understand getting the hell away from it. But you gotta get the round out sometime. That's what round extractors are for.
That mortar is still there to this day. No one will go near it.
