Firing a Mortar is always a tense moment, for the quality of fuses is highly variable and it is not unknown for one to burn through before the crew has finished loading the shell. The best case scenario is that the crew will have to waste time removing the dud shell. The worst case scenario the mortar explodes, killing the crew. As a result, Mortar crews tend to be superstitious and carry a large number of good luck charms, hoping they will not meet an unlucky fate.[1a]
