Can they send us more? Asking for a friend.

You should see our stealth submarines😅

As a swede, I appreciate you appreciation

​@DBossyGuy as another swede I appreciate that you appreciate his appreciation.

Oh, yes. It is so much lighter. The current M4 version weighs less than half of the one (M2) you used in 1977. Not to mention that rangefinders, sights and ammo has changed alot, so max range is nowadays 1000m (1100y).

@@Panzer_ze_tank I'm nowadays in the swedish homeguard (used to be a ranger) and we have mostly old M2s. Regular army has the good stuff. It is estimated that all older versions will be exchanged this fall for only M4 versions. A weight comparison: M2: 14.2kg/31lb (steel) M4: 6.6kg/15lb (titanium/composite)

Shoulder fired mortar. That wall ain't saving you lol.

They gave us more then a fucking guts-ache 😂 God they're concussive

In Canada we called it the Carl G.

It's more than 70 years. I fired my first shot in 1990.

@@stefankaufmann8257 I am not sure what you telling me, either tell me " more than 70 years, I fired my first shot in 1950" or those statements are unrelated 🤔

@@bw1227 the M1 was introduced in 1948, the weapon was already over 40 years old, when i fired my first shot in 1990.

​@@stefankaufmann8257What does the M1 have to do with the Carl Gustaf recoiless rifle?

@@nightfall1249 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ M1 is version #1, in english known as Mk.1...

It's definitely a misnomer, I'd call that a rifled bazooka 😂. It's supremely badass though 💯

@@BasedAFPatriotnot really as to fire anything that big the recoil would rip your body in half Normally so I’d say it’s pretty damn recoilless

🧢

Recoilless rifle not rocket luncher come on man you know this, it's even included in the video with text 😂👍

@@erikaskeroth9720 Yes, Recoilless Rifle is Technically correct. Nobody ever called the M72 LAW, the Mk153 SMAW, the AT-4 or the RPG-7 Recoilless Rifles and they all operate without recoil. Including the The Carl Gustav, they’re all shoulder fired rocket launchers

​​​@@user-pm4jb2iy6ythose fire rockets, they'renot recoiless rifles and im honestly calling bullshit at this point. This is basically a shoulder fired mortar. Rockets have propellent propelling them forward after being fired. A recoiless rifle doesn't. It works like a gun except the gases are expelled out the ass end mitiging recoil.

@@Tikimohn Exactly, a recoilless rifle has more in common with a gun, and everyone who ever fired one know the difference. Rocket launcher like the rpg-7 uses a rocket motor(recoilless rifles do not) the rocket motor is attached to the munition and stays attached as it is launched. The rocket motor burns for a set period of time and propels the munition continuously during that time. You can shoot an RPG-7 with lousy earplugs (I once heard a story about a group of soldiers found that the Taliban used to put cigarette filters into In the ears) and you’ll be fine. With the Carl Gustaf, however, you better don’t try that! This is one of the loudest weapons on the battlefield. That's because you are essentially holding a sawn off tank gun with a open breech. In the CG84mm and AT4 all the propellant is exploding all at once. Venting a portion of the weapon's propellant gases in the rear of the tube which is nearly equal to the forward momentum. The name is misleading the weapon has a fair amount of recoil but nowhere near what it would have had if the was a closed breech. Then you would at least lose your shoulder, arm and large parts of your upper body and probably more often than not die if you tried to fire it. The number of times you can fire a CG84mm according to the USMC and I know that the Swedish Armed Forces is use same number. "Firing the Gustaf can also cause related shock wave injuries to gunners and those nearby. Gunners are only allowed to fire six rounds a day during training. The assistant gunners would also often move away from the overpressure zone, so that they too can fire six rounds a day." I can't find a number on the Rpg-7. Only that the rate of fire is fire 5-6 rocket a minut. And the back blast danger area is for all ammunition natures: 60 metres to the rear of the weapon and 8,2m either side of the axis of the bore.

There is a piece that fits snug against your shoulder to absorb the kick so it really isnt all that different from absorbing the kick from a rifle. The kick isn't that bad but does vary depending on the type of round. Still doesn't kick as bad as a lever action 45-70.

Same with the AT4

We still used the 106mm Recoilless Rifle in Afghanistan. Apparently the US Army still has a lot of ammunition leftover

Oh, yes. It is so much lighter. The current M4 version weighs less than half of the one (M2) you used in the 70's. Not to mention that rangefinders, sights and ammo has changed alot, so max range is nowadays 1000m.

​@@74Darkmanyou are not going to hit a tank at 1000m. Realistic range is not much more than 500m with HEAT. Range for HE didn't change. Weight: The older versions were heavier but not really heavy. Ammo still weighs the same.

@@stefankaufmann8257 I know, just stated that the max range was 1000 for regular ammunition, Nothing else. Ofc the ammo still weighs about the same, but you have many more variations of ammunition. If you use the laser guided GMM version you can actually hit targets at +2000 meters (M4 version). And about the weight. I guess you have never held- or used the M4 version. I was originally trained with the M2 and M3 versions. The M4 version weighs less than half of the old versions. Trust me, it is a huge difference. About 14 kg for old M2 and slightly over 6 kg for the M4 version.

@@74Darkman i would not use laser guided ammo against a modern tank. I was trained on the austrian version. The Carl Gustav is not comparable to an NLAW or Javelin. Non guided, shoulder fired HEAT has a realistic range of not more than 500m and that's absolutely ok. It's the versatility, that makes the Carl Gustav such a remarkable weapon. You can engage tanks, although it's not recommended for MBTs. You can fight infantry or other soft targets. You can engage bunkers. Need light? Shoot an illumination granade. You need to hide? Take a fog granade. I am one of the last austrian Jagdkampf officers. Jagdkampf means fighting behind enemy lines. You are doing all on foot and you have to carry everything yourself including ammo. For sure it's nice to have a lightweight M4, but the ammo is the problem - each granade weighs some 3,5 to 4kg and you need a lot of ammo. But let me say this clear: I LOVE THE CARL GUSTAV! Best infantry support weapon ever!

Americans tend to do BoFERS. instead of BoooForce. same with Husqvarna - Husky-Warna instead of Huus KvarnA

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

We gotta cut them some slack. Not even we Swedes agree on how to pronounce half our language. 🗿

@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporationi gotta visit sometime you swedes crack me up 😂

Would it fire before it is locked? A microswitch would prevent mistakes, but the soldier would hear and feel that ring being closed. (I think)

Karl X Gustav was called the second Alexander the Great.

There is a story that a youth walked up the stairs, paused at the landing to let his friends catch up and a recruiter clapped one on his shoulder.

@@20chocsaday yeah, last time i saw an armory, they were just lying around and there seemed to be 1 for every 2 M16s meanwhile, there were supposedly 5 javelins behind a locked door in the back of the armory, right alongside the whiskey some general placed there.

@@angrydragonslayer Ha! This fellow was a 🍺 drinker.

@@20chocsaday hey, that's what the guy who showed me it said, i was only passing through

@@angrydragonslayer Is it heavy?

😂👍👏

I'm not Danish, but it is a bit sad. The Madsen machine gun was revolutionary in the history of Light Machine Guns, I mean hell, apparently as of 2018 (Not sure if it's changed since then) the Brazilian Military Police in Rio de Janeiro was still using the Madsen because 'It was favored by the police for its reliability and intimidating sound'. I haven't heard anything about the semiauto rifle though?

@mrfabuloso91 i know, I know. Things don't always go as it should. I'm kinda happy it didn't because when the Madsen was introduced, if we mass produced it, we would probably have sold off to the germans, and World War 1 would maybe have another outcome. Even Gun Jesus says it was the best machine gun in ww1, but Madsen lost the first place for only being there in very small amounts. Edit: yes Brazil used them until recently. I'm sure now some stupid drug selling gangs have them.

@mrfabuloso91 no worries brow, all my love from Denmark 🇩🇰

Why ?

@@AC130rus having employed this weapon in combat, i can say: it has a wide variety of rounds that can be fired, it has great penetration power, is a very heavy/large round for a single person to fire which give a small unit a huge immediate advantage when fighting well beyond normal lines of support and it produces fear in the enemy once they realize its being used against them. Most Taliban we here on the radio say, "what the hell is that" or words to that effect.

Yep. 🇨🇦

Right, still this is the Carl X Gustaf that" rifle factory is referring to, the present king of Sweden has the same name and many believe it has something to do with him. The association is rather apt also given that Charles X was Sweden's most succesful warrior king that in his mere six years reign expanded Sweden to it's greatest extent while fighting most of Europe, winning battle after battle.

we got plenty in Texas😆

@@davidreed6264 lucky!

Yep. Our current head of state is King Carl Gustaf XVI, i.e. the SIXTEENTH

Well the Ukrainian claimed a Carl Gustaf was used to destroy the first T-90M tank during the war. So I'm guessing that the CG84 has been there from the start. And Wiki is saying "Swede is spending over $250 million to replace some of the nearly half a million 84mm Carl Gustaf ammo sent to Ukraine"

Swedes. Swiss people are from Switzerland. Totally different country, different language and so on.

​@@74DarkmanWell, both Swiss German (Alemannisch) and Swedish are Germanic languages and are both Indo European. So, not TOTALLY different. Furthermore, Germanic people (doesn't mean German, all Germans are Germanic but not all Germanics are German) From English (they descend from North Sea Germanic Anglo Saxons) to Norwegian to Swedes to Austrians are all Germanic people in Origin and share common Paternal Chromosomal DNA in the forms of R1b-U106 (Indo European derived) and I-M253 or I1 (Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherer derived) Anyhow, this was simplified but point is; both Swiss (the German ones anyhow) and Swedes are Germanic people and both speak Germanic languages. Not totally different but certainly enough to be their own culture, especially for the Swiss.

Cause they got great military tech, and a great few wacky ones

u mad we got better shit

Are you serious?🙄

Bwahahahahahaha. 🇨🇦
