The Mortar is very easy to operate. A mortar consists of a tube into which gunners drop a shell. A firing pin at the base of the tube detonates the propellant and fires the shell. The tube is generally set at between 45 and 85 degrees angle to the ground, with the higher angle giving shorter firing distances.

This biological weapon was used by British commander Lord Jeffrey Amherst and Swiss British officer Colonel Henry Bouquet when the British first started coming to America and they were fighting with the Indians for land. The British gave the Indians blankets with the smallpox virus on it. What the british were hoping for was that since the Indians never even heard of smallpox and never had it, the virus would kill off the whole population of indians and they would be able to have all the land in North America
Now this is one of the worst weapons you will find out in the world today, most of you already know what this is, do you?
This is called Anthrax one of the most deadliest biological weapons.
Anthrax can enter the body through the intestines, lungs, or skin and can cause distint clinical symptoms on where it enters the body, if you have been infected, you will be quarantined. Anthrax can't be caught off of someone who is infected ,but when the body is dead, the anthrax bacilli will be able to infect other people. If you do get infected the best thing you can do is call 911 and tell them that you have been contaminated by the Anthrax virus.
The First Vaccine was discovered by Louis Pasteur in May 1881, he took two groups of 25 sheep and gave the first group the anti-Anthrax vaccine and waited 30 day, then gave both groups the Anthrax virus, and only one group of sheep died.
