Soviet Model 1937 Battalion Mortar Bipods
The Soviet 82-mm mortar is a smooth-bore, muzzle-loaded, high angle-of-fire weapon with a fixed firing pin for drop firing. a base plate, to which the tube is attached, holds the tube in position and absorbs the shock of recoil during firing operations.
The 1937 models utilize conventional bipod mounts, while the 1941 and 1943 models have mounts with wheels. All the mortars described herein have the same ballistic characteristics and use the same ammunition. The mortar can be carried in three one-man loads. In addition, the 1941 and 1943 models may be towed by a member of the crew
The bipod mount, which supports the muzzle of the weapon, is equipped with a spring-type shock absorber designed to reduce the shock imparted by firing; this safeguards the aiming and sighting mechanisms.
The 1937 model, the old type, was the first battalion mortar accepted by the Soviet Army. It was issued in limited quantity and may no longer be available in the Soviet Army. This mortar was improved in 1942 (1942-1943 version) and again in 1945 (new type).
In 1941, a mount to which wheels could be attached was adopted to provide greater mobility. The base plate was also improved. In the firing position, the wheels are detached. In 1943, modifications were introduced to provide nondetachable wheels; firing jacks are lowered when in the firing position.
