A 50-mm company mortar firing at Stalingrad. September-October 1942.
The RM-38 was a Soviet 50 mm light infantrymortar. The barrel was clamped at two elevation angles only - 45 and 75 degrees. Range variations were made by altering a sleeve round the base of the barrel. This sleeve opened a series of gas ports which bled off exhaust gases and so determined the range.
