I hope a few go off while they are being cleaned.

They don’t even go off in the tubes.

JFC, that would be such a pain in the ass for them if those dud mortar rounds got stuck in the mortar tubes.

What do you even do in that situation? You have to assume it can go off at any time right ?

Ask one of the NK guys to get it out.

Typically there's a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process.

Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires.

Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.

I hope they All go off while being cleaned.
