The primary weaknesses of 60mm mortars include their limited range and firepower compared to larger mortars, making them less effective against heavily fortified positions. They can also be affected by environmental conditions, such as wind, which can impact accuracy. Additionally, their relatively light weight means they may be more susceptible to recoil and stability issues during firing.
