Richtee Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I have done .44 caliber mortars from .450 Bushmaster empties...but hey- why stop there? A .25” mortar
ThrownBiscuit Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Be careful, something of that magnitude may attract the attention of the whole county. That being said, that scale would be perfect for making small cakes.

nordicwolf Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 I've been pondering what you just shown here. I make a lot of microstars 0.25" and smaller diameter for fountains. Been considering making a mortar but never went for it. Is that a tube you rolled yourself? How much BP in there for lift? I am easy to inspire. Maybe someday when all the kids are gone I can actually do more... Thanks!

And it don’t take alot of lift. Amount? Couple pinches... It’s not really loud. Well, the shell- that’s up to you. But no matter what...you won’t set off any car alarms.
Powderman Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 This type of pyro stuff will definitely not ruin ones wallet :-) And seems also pretty "safe" in comparison with the big stuff...Now I am hooked on the idea of making the smallest mortar possible :-)
