This mortar round is totally non-functional and inert, having been deactivated according to specifications outlined by the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives). It is totally inert, cannot be converted to an explosive device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very good condition, a rare example of the Japanese Type 100 HE Mortar Round used with the Type 97 (1937) and later the Type 99 small trench mortar. This is based on the Stokes-Brandt design, as was the U.S. 81mm, and this round was actually interchangeable with the U.S. M43A1 shell. There is a date on the fuze, \u003cstrong\u003e3 四 十 昭\u003c\/strong\u003e, for March 1939 (Showa 14). The fuze is missing the button at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese Type 100 round had a maximum range of about 3,000 yards. Loaded weight: ~3kg (6.9lbs) of which 1 pound was TNT. This round is complete, except that fuze assembly is completely missing. The top cap is also not currently removable nor is the fin assembly. It would appear that all components were sealed in order to prevent any tampering during the demilitarization process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece would make a great addition to any WWII Ordnance collection.
