    Gimpy TurnipWhat i done because i found it a little difficult for some reason was use any gun, in my case was the AK to shoot the first target out, then use the mortar, make sure you get both your Technical kills on the first mortar and that will leave you with 2 mortars for the foot patrols.

    Saw3d 0ffIf you mess this up and don't destroy all the targets in 4 shots, make sure you don't continue any further-- reload your checkpoint from the START menu.

    If you continue on and wipe out all of the enemies, you will get a checkpoint, which means that you will have to restart the mission from the beginning again.

    You can actually get this achievement by only using 3 mortar rounds and destroying 3 targets.

    As you climb the tower instead of jumping straight on the mortar, use your sniper rifle to pick off the 4 or so soldiers on the ground and both the gunner and driver from the first technical. Once these two guys are down this technical is no longer designated a target when you use the mortar,

    Then jump on the mortar (this triggers the arrival of the remaining targets). You should then have 4 rounds left to destroy 3 targets (I only took 3, but would assume the 4th would be available to use if you so needed it).

    EthigyGreat solution, you can even get this achievement with only two mortar rounds if you take out the two technicals on the left with a good timed shot.

    Here is my Videoguide.

    Its a very easy Achievement on each Difficulty. Wait until the Targets stops then use the mortar. Thats all :)

    If you have a Question, ask me in the Comments.
