Manufacturing defect (or sabotage) end results. There is also a link
to the Slo-Mo version there.

Is it possible to arm a round by hitting on the ground? How are the
rounds armed? In the movie "Saving Private Ryan", they slammed the
butt end of the round and threw it.
In any case thankfully, this guy is on his way to paradise. Perfect
justice for firing indiscriminately. You can not accurately aim a
mortar like that by holding it with your hand.

He doesn't have to hit anything. The act of dropping shells into a
general area, where the other side is claiming that it is safe to
live/work/do business, or just to be, is all the shooter has to do to
accomplish his goal of showing defiance and wreaking a little havoc.

Lesse now.... Interdict a shipment of mortar shells, expensive as
hell! Re-rig the fuses to be initiated on firing, priceless!

Never use the ammo the other guy left behind, now, boy scouts! Bad
things can happen!

That was a regular task of LRRP units..to salt the enemies stockpiles
with doctored rounds.

Actually saw a gomer fire a doctored AK47 round. (The bullets were
pulled, and the case filled with RDX or C-4.)

He lost his head.

Rather cool actually
