This extremely light and safe mortar does not only meet the highest tactical and logistic demands; thanks to its high firing capacity, high accuracy and quick and easy operation, it is suitable for special missions, especially on difficult terrain. All types of 60mm mortar bombs can be fired from this mortar.

The base plate is made of a high-strength aluminium alloy with a steel spike in the centre. Additional the M6C-640Mk1 comes with a square formed base plate, especially for use on soft ground. The quick change system allowes to change the base plates in less then 10 sec without tools. The barrel and breech cap are made of high-strength special steel. They are forged, heat treated and machined to close tolerances. The barrel is provided with hand protection. The division of range scale (default: charge 0, 1 and 2 for Hirtenberger HE Mk2, charge 1 and 2 for Hirtenberger ILL Mk2 and a mils scale) can be adjusted also to other types of mortar bombs.
