Designed by Edgar Brandt, it was copied by other countries, such as the United States and China, as well as purchased and built by Romania. The mortar continued to be used by France after the war until at least the 1960s.[5] DescriptionThe Brandt Mle 1935 was a simple and effective weapon, consisting of a smoothbore metal tube fixed to a base plate (to absorb recoil), with a lightweight bipod mount.{{sfn|Manuel du gradé 1939|p=283}} The team of the Mle 1935 was made of five men: a leader, a firer, an artificer and two suppliers.{{sfn|Manuel du gradé 1939|p=448}} When a mortar bomb was dropped into the tube, an impact sensitive primer in the base of the bomb would make contact with a firing pin at the base of the tube, and detonate, igniting a gunpowder charge, which would propel the bomb out of the tube, and towards the target.{{sfn|Manuel du gradé 1939|p=288}} HE mortar bombs fired by the weapon weighed 1.33 kilograms.{{sfn|Manuel du gradé 1939|p=292}} A French infantry company in 1940 was allocated one Mle 1935 mortar.{{sfn|Manuel du gradé 1939|p=498(32)}} This weapon provided a pattern for other light mortars used during World War II. Among the best known is the U.S. 60-mm M2 mortar. Captured examples were used by the Germans as the 6 cm Granatwerfer 225(f).[6] Romania also purchased and license-built the Mle 1935 mortar prior to and during the Second World War.[7] The mortars were produced at the Voina Works in Brașov,[8] with a production rate of 26 pieces per month as of October 1942.[9]Notes1. ^{{cite book|title=Personal firepower|first=Edward Clinton|last= Ezell|publisher=Bantam Books|year=1988|series=The Illustrated history of the Vietnam War 15|oclc=1036801376|url=https://archive.org/details/personalfirepowe00ezel|page=41}} 2. ^{{cite magazine|language=fr|magazine=Gazette des Armes |issue=220 |date=March 1992|title=L'armement français en A.F.N.|pages=12-16|url=http://fr.1001mags.com/parution/gazette-des-armes/numero-220-mars-1992/page-16-17-texte-integral|first=Jean|last=Huon}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=North Vietnamese Army Soldier 1958–75|series=Warrior 135|first=Gordon L. |last=Rottman|date= 10 Feb 2009|publisher=Osprey Publishing|isbn=9781846033711|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iC21CwAAQBAJ|page=32}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/2067459|title=Mortars and rockets|last=Chamberlain|first=Peter|date=1975|publisher=Arco Pub.
