The 12 cm Luftminenwerfer M 16 (Pneumatic trench mortar) was a medium mortar used by Austria-Hungary in World War I. It was developed by Austria Metal Works in Brno from their earlier rejected 8 cm project. It was a rigid-recoil smooth-bore breech-loading design that had to be levered around to aim at new targets.
