The MobileMortar-3 was a long-range grenade launcher that featured a repulsorlift platform to aid movement and was manufactured by Merr-Sonn. It was designed to fire the C-22 frag grenade, but others tried using the C-14A and the C-16. It may have been the final stage of the experimental Clone Wars MM(X) grenade launcher.

The launcher could fire grenades at a rate of 50 rounds per minutes and used an internal rotation module to stabilize their flight to maximum range. A sound dampener on the barrel allowed for silent firing, while a targeting computer gave range and fire-vector data. However its awkward position on the launcher meant many experienced gunners preferred to visually aim the weapon, saving the computer for use in low-visibility environments. An internal magazine could hold 12 grenades, while a motorized grenade pack carrying 100 grenades could be connect to the rear refill door. A microrepulsorlift assisted in transporting the MobileMortar-3 and negating most of the recoil in firing it.^[1]
