The 2 inch medium trench mortar, also known as the 2-inch howitzer, and nicknamed the "toffee apple" or "plum pudding" mortar, was a British smooth bore muzzle loading (SBML) medium trench mortar in use in World War I from mid-1915 to mid-1917. The designation "2-inch" refers to the mortar barrel, into which only the 22-inch bomb shaft but not the bomb itself was inserted; the spherical bomb itself was actually 9 inches (230 mm) in diameter and weighed 42 lb (19 kg), hence this weapon is more comparable to a standard mortar of approximately 5-6 inch bore.

  • 2インチヴィッカース中迫撃砲(英語: 2 inch Vickers Medium Trench Mortar)とは、第一次世界大戦でイギリス軍が使用していた中迫撃砲である。 スピガット・モーター式、すなわち砲弾が砲身よりも大きいタイプの迫撃砲であり、タフィー・アップル(Toffee Apple)、またはプラム・プディング(Plum Pudding)というあだ名を付けられていた。 1915年後半から1917年前半まで使用されていたが、あまり性能が良くなかったため、ニュートン6インチ迫撃砲に置き換えられた。 (ja)
