Picture this at Gettysburg mortar teams following behind Pickette's Charge lobbing shells at the union position along Cemetery Hill and Ridge. How about this at Little Round top if they had these mortar teams, they could have pushed the union soldier from the held positions...
The 12 pound Ceohorn mortar could be carried by two men into battle most likely use four or six men in all to carry the ammo for it. Would the 12 pound Ceohorn mortar have been good for close infantry support weapon or was that a concept before its time in the civil war.
Mortars was used effectively as a weapon in the 20th century why not during the civil war?
