It had been speculated that longer length mortars and capsule- shaped shells might experience significantly different drift than normal length mortars and spherical shells. It was found that while longer mortars propelled 6-inch (155 mm) aerial shells to greater heights, the average shell drift was unaffected. Further it was found that 6- inch (155 mm) capsule-shaped shells probably drifted slightly more than spherical shells.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> aerial shell drift, mortar length, shell shape<font face=\"TimesNewRoman\">.<\/font><\/p>\n<p> <font face=\"TimesNewRoman\"><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ref:<\/strong> JPyro, Issue 3, 1996, pp30-34<br \/> (J3_30)<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(A) The Effect of Long Mortars K.L.
