"Because you and I want to, but I don't see the mortar part, it doesn't fit. Was it aboard the boat? Ashore? if it was fired and hit close enough to the boat to shower it with shrapnel it must have been damn near vertical, there has got to be more to this, think about it."
We had a Lt JG fire a M 79 grenade launcher form the ASROC deck on my destroyer.
He pointed it straight down.
We warned him 1st, then took cover.
Took shrapnel in one testicle.
