Description
Add a useful piece of Vietnam War-era mortar history to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1015-200-20P. This manual covers the 81mm M29 and M29A1 mortars and is dated October 1970.
Historical Significance
The M29 and M29A1 81mm mortars gave troops close fire support from cover. They were used to fire high-angle rounds at targets that rifles and machine guns could not reach.
The M29A1 is described as a smooth-bore, muzzle-loaded, high-angle fire weapon. It used a cannon assembly, bipod assembly, and baseplate.
What This Manual Covers
This is a 20P parts manual. It is useful for studying the repair parts and support items used with the M29 and M29A1 mortar systems.
A later Army reference lists the M29A1 manual line as an Organizational Maintenance Manual Including Repair Parts and Special Tools Lists, which matches the kind of parts support this manual represents.
Army manuals were working books. They helped troops identify, use, service, and support real equipment in the field.
