The Hirtenberger M6-895 60 mm mortar was procured as an urgent operational requirement (UOR) for the British Army. It can be fired in both the direct-lay and indirect fire role at a rate of 1–12 rounds a minute and can be operated in the hand held mode. The mortar replaced the L9A1 51 mm Light Mortar due to greater availability of ammunition suppliers for the 60mm calibre.
