Knowing it was the 3rd RIMa and after watching this, I'm pretty sure it's a Fly-K.

Fly-K
51mm mortar
4.8 kg
range: 40-675m
rate of fire (max): 25 rounds/min

More important it is flashless, smokeless and almost silent. It was designed by Belgium in the late 1980's. Paul as it on its website under the name FLT-K TN-8111. TN-8111 is the French designation. However, is FLT-K a spelling mistake, Paul?

Just a detail, if the French Marine Infantry units are similar to US marines, they are army units.

The naval troops are naval commandos and naval special forces are the "nageur de combat"
