8 cm Granatwerfer 34

The 8 cm Granatwerfer 34, (81.4 mm mortar) was the standard German medium 

mortar of World War Two. Firing a 2.5 kg (13.6 lbs) shell up to 2.4 km (1.5 miles),

the 8 cm GrW 34 was an effective support weapon for German infantry.

As a weapon used near the front lines, these Afrika Korps mortar men make sure they have small arms readily at hand. 

These are metal pieces from Warlord that I painted this week.
