Since you don't seem to know the difference between a bullet and a mortar why bother. Same applies to the word theoretically, which has a meaning.

A bullet is an inert mass. Mortar rounds tend to be filled with stuff what goes boom. Not the same thing at all.

Now, if you're using mortar tubes to fire tennis balls -- something you can do with PVC pipe and hair spray as propellant if you're bored next weekend -- give me an outfielder's glove, and that could be a game. Fly balls only -- no line drives.
