Having lugged around an 81mm mortar, the designation "man portable" is a bit of stretch already. It breaks into 3 sets of 10kg, and each shell is another 4.5kg. and thats post ww2, I don't think they were lighter in the 40s.
Carrying an 81mm around on top of all the regular stuff is already dubiously useful for how few shots you get, doing the same with a 100mm is straight up stupid (though not impossible, I'm sure someone somewhere did it).
