While pondering more hahas for the 2 dismantled 81mm mortars thread I got to thinking about portage costs of dismantled versus assembled weapons. Btw that was an excellent picture posted by Rocket-Man.
What I was curious about is if the reduced portage costs for a dismantled weapon is an exaggeration of how much easier it is to portage when dismantled? Looking at the picture it seems as if the tubes have straps and the base plate is carried on the back. Would these be enough to significantly reduce the portage cost by 1/4 or more?
I was hoping some of our infantry brethren could give this swabbie some real life insight into carrying these weapons. I only had to carry a wrench ( spanner ) and a coffee cup.
