- Test firing a WWII 81mm mortar! This was done using test rounds and owned with forms granting permission to own and store this type of device in the military museum. Live mortars can actually have a firing distance of up to 3 miles or more!

We're out here stacking 9mm and 5.56....Dragonman is dusting off the 81mm. :)
Lol
Yup ..💪💪💪💪💪With age comes wisdom..and always ..God Bless America ..🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@N8v-Ghost's Good Journey 420 They're definitely gonna try to strip away everything they can from us. people think it's all hyperbole and fearmongering...it isn't! Reminds me of the old saying, "If the devil tells you he's evil, the best thing to do is believe him." They're telling us what they wanna do, and they mean it. It's time for people to wake up. Stay safe and prepared out there my friend!
@N8v-Ghost's Good Journey 420 Amen to that! I'm not gonna go out here and start the war (although these nuts basically already have) but I'll be damned if I wont fight if that's the call that comes my way. I've raised my kids already and lived a pretty damn good life so I'll die on my feet before I ever live on my knees.
My dad was a mortar man in WWII. He said after landing on the beach the stands lasted just a few days before they took them off, too heavy to carry. He said he would brace it with his knees and lob one shell in to sink it into the dirt. The he would nudge it with his knees to aim.
Your dad was a great man, and for sure he had a lot of interesting stories to tell. Thanks to him for his service.
@@thecakeisalie6392 Thank you.
Your dad is a Badass!
@@thecakeisalie6392 To be honest he wouldn't talk about what happened. When my son started to ask him questions he opened up a little. There were only 8 left of his company and they had a reunion. After that more stories came out.
Someone asked Dragonman if he was on the ATF/FBI watchlist.
He said , NO, they're on my watchlist.
You can have all that stuff. You just have to pay the AFT.
They come to him for ammo
As it SHOULD BE! ;)
My Father was a 81MM Mortar Crew Member with the 180th Infantry Regiment, part of the 45th Infantry Division, during WWII. Had 511 days of combat during WWII. Earned two Bronze Star Medals and Eight Battle Stars and an Arrowhead device on his Campaign Medal. At the end of the war he was at Dachau.
My dad served in the Pacific in WW - we'd been watching some old war movie and he said, mortars didn't sound like what was portrayed. He then told me, you'd hear them launch (and made that sound) but didn't know where they were going to land....you just hoped it didn't have your name on it!
Imagine having beef with this guy
your free trial of life has expired
@@Back4Fungame frrr😂
Everyone’s beef with him was resolved sorry I mean devolved he incinerated them
Having beef like a cookout? That would be awesome. Haha
You would be beef
Love u sir! My uncle fought on hamburger hill. Can't wait till the day I can visit ur shop. Cheers 🍻 🇺🇲
Wow..legendary💪💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
If I win the lottery I would like to have my own collection like yours!
you know dam well hes probably got a stash full of live mortars packed some where.
This man is ready for ww3
He's gonna be one of the protagonists 😁😁
When little boys go to sleep they dream of being Rambo. When Rambo sleeps he dreams of Dragonman.
I would be blessed to hang around this guy with all the knowledge of guns and etc.
What a blast!!!
0341 checking in “hangin on 1!”
_Today I'm going to show you the nuke our guy brought me back from Iraq. See that? That's why they didn't find weapon of mass destruction.. because they took it home for my collection"_
Dragonman, thank you. Seeing how things like this work up close and personal. Again, thank you.
Mortars never used shotgun shells like that. The bombs have a primary charge in their base, then additional charges as removable bands of explosive around their base, above the fins. The more of the charge bands are left on, the further it will fire.
During basic training in 1945, my dad watched, as a crew practicing mortors, fired one and it exploded, killing all of them. It hit a branch of a tree, close to them, I believe.
How horribly tragic!!!! :(
NATO comes to Dragonman for assistance
Watching from UK....this guy gets cooler dude by the hour....brilliant
He's pretty cool I met him for the first time a few weeks ago.
Dragon Man is a national treasure. We must protect him and keep in safe for generations to come.
The gentleman has a great place out there. His military museum is absolutely first rate. Cant wait for spring to go visit again.
CHEERS from Colorado
Drinking game every time he says “see dat” take a shot!😂
He's from New YORK!
Oh my god finally re-uploaded with the full footage, yes! I was bummed how the originial video cut right before all the fun. Thanks!
The old timers knew how to make things that lasted
What a cool dude 😎.. I've been looking for my Father 😂😂 I come from New Zealand and we don't get to see cool stuff like this .what an absolute gem of a TH-cam channel to come across 💯🔥👊
I love this Man. God bless his Metal Heart.
Awesome stuff .... enjoyed that very much.
That was an awesome demo, since Saving Private Ryan (City battle scene) I was curious about those mortars, two ways to fire..Now Dragonman, break out your German 88's, would love to see those fire as well
Thanks for lettin us in , on sum great stuff!!! Man,you got the cool, shit, dragon man. Allways a fun time!°
That Jeep behind is a real beauty.
I enjoyed this video,hope to see more like it.
Love it. Love it. Want more of it.
All the empty shell casings on the ground made me laugh. :P LOL!
You are one cool cowboy.Thank you for the demo
The 81mm mortar was actually a very good mortar in WW2
yes we do like it !
Our sister battalion 1-61 put the 81 mortars inside their APCs. My battalion (regular grunts) 1-11 5th Mech kept the 60mm mortars in the supply room. To heavy for patrolling. Nice video thanks.
I wish I lived next door to this amazing guy!!! :-) Love and respects from the UK to the Dragon Man!!!!!
He owns 8000 acres
Better hurry theres housing going up all around him
Nice ! I’ll be coming to visit your place soon. Thanks !
Just to be at dragonmans and pop off a few of those at some man made bull's eye huge targets would be awesome! Thank to see a cool mortor launcher Dragonman
Come on just one live one??💥💥💥💯
Last time he did live explosives on his range he used a recoilless rifle with a HE round and it collapsed his burm. Took him 3 days and a bulldozer to fix
Thanks for the video.
This Kat Has All The Kool Toys.
Rosie the Riveter knew her shit when it came to building war machines.
So cool thanks for sharing
I was 11C2P ( indirect fire crewman ) from 71-73. I trained on the 81 at Ft Ord.
I was there about that same time. May to the end of Sept 71 for basic and AIT. For AIT we had a split MOS and trained as infantry and indirect fire crewmen.
Knowledge is power. Thanks. Wish i could be there to participate!
When you fire the grenade does the shell get pushed out into the barrel or does it fly with the grenade?
Gives new meaning to shootin blanks
That's why you dont mess with DRAGON MAN!!!!
I'd hate to owe this guy a dollar!!!!!!!!
hi, does anyone have the dimensions of the Baseplate of the M1 mortar? we want do make a 3d print in 1:6th scale and need these dimensions
I would expect something like this to be in Texas, not Colorado but goddamn do I love it.
there are a range with tanks and so on where you can shoot with.

I am so interested in this stuff. I need to go to his museum some day.

Very cool awesome video
Hey come here for the 4th. The neighborhood would love it!
Me: hey man , I have some pretty cool stuff
Dragon Man: yeah, I don’t think so

Hope you have a good retriever dog to return the mortars, lol. It would keep the dog in great shape and make life easier for whoever you have chasing down the mortars. Great stuff.
Thank you.
Pretty damn cool
Mel you have too much fun 🤠👍
