But of course the Howtar was not a direct fire weapon as far as low angle firing ( i.e you can't shoot at a window). Many of the modern lightweight 120 MM mortar systems fold up into a wheeled travel configuration and are relatively mobile when pushed -pulled by manpower. I wonder if there have been any efforts to develop any of the newer breech loading gun/mortar systems (mainly 120MM but the French developed an 81MM weapon) into an infantry gun configuration? Those can be direct fired although they are fairly heavy (thus mainly being employed on AFV's). I am curious though, what a modern 75MM pack howitzer would be able to do in MOUT that shoulder fired weapons like the 84MM Carl Gustav or USMC SMMAW can't (I'm specifically talking about systems firing cheaper unguided rounds)? I realize a pack howitzer is also an indirect fire weapon but modern mortars are very effective in that role...
