Most mortars are muzzleloaders. The mortar tube is a piece of pipe with a firing pin permanently fixed at the base. When the mortar round is dropped into the tube, the primer in the base of the round strikes the firing pin, and the round shoots out the other end. The Russians have fielded breechloading mortars. These are nothing but huge. The LITTLE one fires a 160mm round through a three-meter tube--the tube is in two sections, and the round is placed in the lower, hinged section. (160mm is larger than almost all of their howitzers and guns.) The big one is the 240mm 2S4, which has two exotic rounds available to it. The first is a laser-guided round; this round was used to devastating effect in Afghanistan during the Soviets' war there. The second is a nuclear round.
Coal, gunpowder, and blaze powder can be combined to create fire charges. Fire charges can be used as ammunition for dispensers or as a throwable item to create fire upon impact.
A common ratio for a fire-resistant mortar mix is 1 part fire clay to 3 parts Portland cement. This combination helps create a durable and heat-resistant bond suitable for applications like fireplace repair or lining fire pits. Adjustments to the ratio may be needed based on specific project requirements.
The weight of mortar can vary depending on the mix design and volume. A typical estimate is around 2,400 kg per cubic meter of mortar mixture. It is important to calculate the weight based on the specific components and proportions used in the mortar mix.
Clay can act as a filler in cement mortar, helping to improve workability and reduce shrinkage. However, excessive amounts of clay can weaken the mortar and reduce its bonding strength. It's important to control the clay content to maintain the desired properties of the mortar.
A mortar and pestle is commonly used for grinding solid substances into powder. The mortar is a bowl and the pestle is a heavy stick used to crush and grind the ingredients.

No. A mortar is a indirect fire weapon where as a railgun is a direct-fire weapon.
NEVER FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO FIRE AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT AMMUNITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danger,danger, danger

Fire ammunition.
Fire symbol 1 signifies ammunition with a mass explosion hazard.
The colt 1911 fires .45ACP ammunition.
No.
Mortar is not inherently fire resistant, as it is typically made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water, which can be damaged or weakened by extreme heat. However, specific additives or fire-resistant coatings can be incorporated into the mortar mix to improve its fire resistance.
