Meanwhile, in Mexico:

The Jalisco Cartel is making their own mortars.
The Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) is the second biggest cartel in Mexico (next to the Sinaloa Cartel which El Chapo used to co-run before his final arrest).
According to US intelligence it's the best armed cartel. In the past they shot down an military helicopter with an rpg.

Haven't read anything about those being used but doesnt bode well for the future.

To be fair a mortar isn't hard to make

No idea.
It's just an example of how they're expending their arsenal.

Doesn't it depend on the ammo being used?

Or maybe the mortars are for disruptive purposes? To cause chaos instead of damage.

They can have all the cool guns they want, their main problem is that few are trained well enough to handle them.
Guess that's why they often seem to lose battles while being better equipped than police/military.

More than likely it's for propaganda use, basically saying "look at how dangerous we are, we've got mortars and RPGs and all sorts of stuff". The IRA did the same thing with their four fifty cals back I'm the day, they didn't even use them. Just a a show of force, and just like those 50's in Ireland, they'll probably never be used

[Baron Von Marlon]

Possible.
But the cartel that owned the mortars already used explosive drones so I can see them using mortars at some point.

Speaking of the IRA.
The Downing Street mortar attack
was carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 7 February 1991. The IRA launched three homemade mortar shells at 10 Downing Street, London, the headquarters of the British government in an attempt to assassinate prime minister John Major and his war Cabinet

Think they used one of these: 


Once saw footage of one in Mexico being tested.
