The Thomson-Brandt 60 MC HB is a French gun-mortar developed during the 1970's for use in armoured personnel carriers. The Thomson-Brandt 60 MC HB is a 60 mm calibre mortar with an opening breech allowing its use either as a conventional mortar, with bombs loaded into the muzzle which then fall onto a fixed firing pin, or like a gun with the bomb loaded into the breech from a position under cover of enemy fire. The Thomson-Brandt 60 MC HB has a maximum range of between 2050 and 2600 metres depending upon ammunition. The Thomson-Brandt 60 MC HB can fire in a straight line and when loaded with an anti-tank mortar bomb can be used as an anti-tank gun with an effective range of 500 metres against stationery targets and 300 metres against a moving target.
