Description
Socom Gear M60 M2 Mortar Set (Co2 Powered – 60MM-M2-A001)
The Socom Gear M2 Mortar Set is a CO2-powered 60mm airsoft mortar styled on the M2, the light mortar that served with infantry units through the Second World War and Korea. It gives teams a dramatic support weapon for objective games, milsim events and themed scenarios.
Socom Gear is known for distinctive specialist replicas, and its 60mm mortar range includes several different rounds. The M2 set brings the look of a classic period mortar to the airsoft field, and it is a centrepiece item for any team that enjoys support roles or historical kit.
How airsoft mortars are used
Airsoft mortars are used to lob BBs or projectiles into an area rather than at a single target, which makes them ideal for clearing objectives, supporting an attack or adding atmosphere to a scenario. Most sites and event organisers have specific rules on mortars, including where they can be used, minimum distances and how hits are counted, so always check before bringing one.
A mortar is a team weapon. One player usually operates it while others spot and call corrections, which adds a satisfying layer of teamwork and tactics to a game.
Power and operation
This set is CO2 powered. Read the manual supplied with the mortar carefully before use, so that you understand how it is charged, loaded and fired, and which rounds and gas supply it is designed for. Never improvise with gas types or parts that the manual does not list.
Practise setting up and operating the mortar in a safe, open space before taking it to a game. Getting used to the set-up drill means you can deploy it quickly and safely when it counts.
Rounds
Socom Gear makes a range of 60mm mortar rounds, including the M302, M49A2 and M49A4 types. Check which rounds are designed for this set before you order spares, and ask us if you are unsure.

Compatibility
Use Socom Gear 60mm rounds that are listed for this mortar set, and follow the manual for the gas supply it needs. It is a standalone support weapon and does not attach to any rifle or pistol. Always check your site’s or event’s rules on mortars before bringing it.
Care and maintenance
Always release any remaining gas before storage, and store the mortar and its rounds clean, dry and unpressurised. Check seals and moving parts for dirt or damage before each use, and lubricate them only with silicone oil where the manual says to.
Transport the mortar in a padded bag or case to protect it from knocks, and never point it at anyone or look down the tube while it is charged.
