Constructed in Škoda under the project designation B 17 as a non-slip mortar. Three prototypes were built. One tested in 1943, but the weapon was found unsuitable for use at the front. The other two were later used by Škoda to test various recoil mechanisms. A similar weapon was developed by Gustlof-Werke in Suhl.
