Hirtenberger M6C-210
portable 60 mm mortar by Hirtenberger AG
The Hirtenberger M6C-210 is a light mortar with smoothbore barrel, part of the M6 mortar range designed by Hirtenberger Defense Systems of Austria.
This mortar is equipped with two aiming devices and is characterized by high mobility, which should meet the needs of fire during rapid deployment, forward troops or small units such as those engaged in special operations. All common types of mortar bombs calibre 60mm can be fired from this mortar.
Lacking the support legs found on mortar intended for use from fixed emplacements, the M6C-series mortars are operated by resting the base plate on the ground while a soldier supports the tube near the muzzle. A single soldier can operate this mortar with little special training, making it a squad-level infantry weapon, trading accuracy for portability.
The 60mm mortar has a reach of over 2,000 m (2,200 yd), depending on the shell weight and propellant charge being used.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as portable 60 mm mortar by Hirtenberger AG. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3785788. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
