Mortar should be renamed to Grenade Launcher
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M224_mortar
From article, "The mortar can be fired in the conventional mode or the handheld mode. "
So we certainly could have a handheld mortar.
I like the name mortar. I think the graphics of the mortar could change though. It might also be helpful to show the person squatting to fire the mortar and then getting up again—unless we want them to have some ridiculous stabilizer harness they are wearing and we want to move away from that since we just got the hobosack taken away.

I definitely wouldn’t mind an actual bazooka instead.
I just want something else than a rifle, skin and how it’s held.
I will always say that Horrik’s cannon was a perfect skin for the mortar.
Noobtub yes that works

No, handheld mode merely means it can be fired without a tripod. You still must be crouched and stationary while you use it. just take a look at the image of a soldier firing it in handheld mode:
Also remember that mortars do not have rifle stocks, sights, or triggers. The engineer’s “mortar” does, however.

Charr engineers already have the charrzooka, though.
I would LOVE to have a shoulder-mounted cannon like Horrick’s. That would be awesome!

Charrs also have a mine!
Bazooka =/ charrzooka (well… Kinda.) Just stay with the same attacks, and the “bazooka” mortar would look fine and different.

Hmmm…. Maybe next time try actually reading what I posted rather than hitting that quick reply key.
I said: “It might also be helpful to show the person squatting to fire the mortar and then getting up again—unless we want them to have some ridiculous stabilizer harness they are wearing and we want to move away from that since we just got the hobosack taken away.”
Does this indicate I think someone needed to squat down to fire the mortar? Well, I said so…
Edit: And yes, I edited my original post, but I edited it LONG before you replied…
It’s a game where a little knife can kill a larger number of people faster than an endless supply of explosives.
I don’t find the concept of a mobile mortar to be outlandish.
That said, I don’t care if the name changes to grenade launcher. I feel they wouldn’t do this though because it would overlap with the grenade kit. Hell, they could call it the “didgeridoo blaster pack” for all I care.
I’ve been calling it Grenade Launcher since specializations came out.
I think the name should be changed from Mortar to Grenade Launcher.
I don’t even know why people are calling it the mortar when it’s spelled mokitten, but whatevs.
