I doubt anyone would run around shoulder firing it and its made for in direct fire

They are highly unlikely to seriously hurt anyone if they do hit them though. You would probably hurt yourself more by just falling over!

IMO these kinds of props/launchers should be inspected by the board for safety and then voted on.

Heres my take-

I am fairly certain there will be safety tests done by airsoftmedicine or other popular airsofters/manufacturers for exactly this type of thing. Once the results from that come out, we can go off of that, or we (TAC) can conduct our own tests supervised by the board. Whether it poses any kind of safety risk, or in the case of direct impact can induce bodily harm, can be easily tested by using the device its self, and targets made of cardboard or something else cheap that can show us the the potential for harm it may or may not have.

My advice for anyone purchasing this before test results are made public-
Bring it to a TAC meeting. The Board can review it after seeing demonstrations/tests made there on the field.

^This

I'll even volunteer to stand right under the impact zone for demo purposes.

The long and short is that it falls under the event creators discretion for now until we see how it works.

I know this post is a little old, but I found this on weaponblender, the same mortar for 130$ instead of 180$ on the listed site. And there is a demonstration video. That thing gets range.
