And that's the key -- a good gunner and crew. You can drop 60mm rounds in your lap -- but most sights for small mortars are only accurate down to about 40-70 meters. After that, you're using your calibrated eyeball and an edumacated guess. You can also use the 60mm mortar as a direct-fire weapon in some circumstances -- but again, you need to be damn good (and not have one of the few drop-fire-only small mortars in the world).
