The is a photo of a Sauterelle. It was a WWI French crossbow that would launch grenades across no-man’s land and into enemy trenches.

When it comes to war and battle humans have been able to find and develop many ways to do each other in. Nice find. My mom's dad was in artillary in WW1, he lost total hearing in one ear, too bad he was not in a crossbow unit, not so loud I would think.

about the end of the war the modern mortar was invented 1917 in france
mortars have been around for centuries , the modern mortar with the tube , bi-pod and fixed firing pin that we think of now


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
