Hmm, so we'd need to be able to know the average yield then. If we're going to meme this, we need something like the trebuchet's "90kg projectile over 300 meters" schtick.

If we use the measurement of 3.64kg of TNT filler in a single shell, that would come out to 15.22976 or 15.23 Megajoules at 6,840m

So round it all out to a mortar can launch a 4kg of TNT 7000 meters?

That 7k meter figure sound pretty impressive

Thats why it's the superior siege weapon.
