Someone offered to sell a mortar to me.
I have some questions, gentlemen, if you may kindly enlighten me.
Do I need a separate stamp for each mortar shell? What if I don't make the shells explosive? I can't imagine I would need a stamp for each shell.
Can I reuse the shell if I don't make the shells explosive? Will the impact of the mortar shell hitting the ground cause the shell to be deformed or destroyed, so that it can't be reused? If it can be reused, how many reuses per shell? Will the detonation of the of the charge propellant cause deformation to the shell, to the point where it can't be reused?
Assuming I can reuse the shell, where the heck do I buy propellant and primer (if it uses a primer)? An internet search yields nothing, other than sales to military.
Also, as far as retrieving the shell, if it can be reused, I am assuming that I will see a puff of dirt, and then know the location of where the shell landed from the puff. Will I be able to spot and easily retrieve the shell? Am I being realistic?
As you can tell, I have no desire to continually buy shells, it the mortar requires one new shell for each shot.
