Lately, my unit has been trying to identify POO sites for the rocket attacks that have been occasionally occuring in my AO. Through crater analysis we've determined the direction and have ruled out the possibility of mortars. So to my question, can anyone give me a guesstimation as to the max range of a 107mm rocket fired without a tube? I can't find any specs as to the range or characteristics of a rocket fired without the tube, I'm willing bet there was no militry testing done in this fashion. Also, there is a tool I've seen several times which is placed against the side of a mortar tube or rocket to measure it's quadrant, or angle- like a gunners quadrant as they are called in the artillery world. The one I am reffering to gives you a reading, and doesn't have a micrometer and bubbles. Anyone know what this is called?
