Sounds like fun.
Target rich environment.

And did I see mentioned a package based on the 20 foot modular cargo container with all kinds of goodies involved?

You reckon you redlegs can fit and work with a few 81mm tubes in something like that with the roof removed? 8 feet wide by 20 feet long... and have I got a clever little stinger figured out for the scorpion's tail....

Hmm.
81mm in an 8 by 20?
The ears would ring a bit afterwards without proper ear plugs, but it may be a workable possibility.
That'd be a pretty funny surprise for someone.
Especially if using the weird 'mounting' the Picatin Arsenal uses on their test tower to fire a mortar straight down.
It could be used to turn a mortar into a direct fire weapon.
(Whatever works, but I'd have to pick the brain of a mortarman for that idea.)

Was trying to think of a way to mount the cradle of the M119 onto the rotating plate of an old AA gun in such a way that anyone used ot the traversing gear on the 119 could continue to use the same method of adjustment.
Somewhat of a flatbed strapdown mounting on the base, four jack up/jackdown wheels and a flip up flip down towing pintle deal, with the AA mount being the 'baseplate' for the altered artillery piece.
Tossed the idea away late last night as probably unworkable without knowing the specifics of the mechanical bits of the AA base.
