A '''Mortar''' is any weapon or class of weapon that utilizes the firing of a projectile or other device in an arc-like fashion at a target. A mortar is also a classic indirect-fire weapon, and is generally used to support ground troops from a distance.

Line 8:

The paradox of mortar weapons is that all projectile weapons are limited to arc-traveling projectiles, except the mortar is a classification of which that arc is incredibly profound. This arc allows mortars to fire over obstacles that may stop normal weapons.

The only mortars in ''Halo'' that are mentioned are of [[Covenant]] make: the two examples are the standard [[~~Type~~-26 Wraith|Wraith]] and [[Rizvum-pattern Revenant|Revenant]]'s [[plasma mortar]] and the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] from [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] multiplayer. There are also portable plasma mortars that [[Grunts]] set up near the core of [[Onyx]], though these were never fired because their crews were all killed.
