Chorwon Museum Part 2

The description given is "60mm" and "81mm" so these can only be mortar projectiles.  I'm not sure about the two items on the right.


M-59

155mm piece.  This is a "Long Tom" gun used for direct fire.  Most pieces during the war were howitzers capable of direct or indirect fire, indirect being lobbing shells at a high angle like a mortar, a useful feature in mountainous terrain.


F-86F
