Carl-G rifle remains effective since 1948

[Kinjamaimai]

It may be recoil-less, but the backblast itself is like a shockwave in your bones. Wonderful, just wonderful. :)

[DARTAGNANS170]

The Duke Nukem 3D rocket launcher fires faster...

[1tusen2tusen3]

Swedish weapon are the best in the world! =)

[IamtheonlyKato]

Ehm, the reloader should check for backblast in 90 degree angle. When it's safe he shouts ready to fire so none get hurt from backblast..

[willo1321]

didnt make sure the venturi ring was secure @1.34

@2NDLTSTEEN it is a rocket launcher dickhead

[WampireDj]

A "Carl G" was firing "RAP" Rounds ? Well ok. :D

[MasterOfFlash92]

we might not make them fancy looking but we sure as hell make them good >:D

[sweddehli]

This is a swedish GRG, wich means GRenade Gun , i used that thing for 8 months and i hate it ;)

[FredDude27]

There is an updated version of the m48 called m86. The main difference is the barrel is made of some synthetic fibermaterial (cant recall what it is) and some of hte other parts are also made from lighter material.

Not sure how common that M86 version is though.

They were firing 'RAP' rounds: Rocket Assisted Projectiles. So the weapon is considered a 'recoilless rifle', but with a RAP round it is, in essence, a rocket launcher as well.

[reidmeyers]

Don't worry, i'm sure he got jacked up afterwards for his rocket launchering :P

[SkankyPrince]

A advice for you. Dont fire a carl gustav inside a building

[muuckee]

It´s not a rocketlauncher because it´s a grenadelauncher. It fires a grenade and not a rocket!

[AdurianJ]

Some rounds have a rocket motor for extra range

[stark1987]

its a recoilless rifle, so technicaly, it is a rifle

[Tarik360]

Don't call it a rocket-launcher, call it a hand-cannon!

[insertpunhere367]

@Tarik360 except it's not.

[2NDLTSTEEN]

NOT A rocket launcher!!!

[Klajnepojken]

"rocketlauncher" "rocketlauncher" "rocketlauncher"

Maybe they should read up on the facts.

[thunder192k]

correct me if im wrong for that rocket luncher it dose not have any recole but when you shot it it will it feel like a punch. i think i was told that at mito armory. i was there for soldier for a day in winnipeg mb

[AshFromCan]

@thunder192k there is a strong concussion that rocks you pretty good. but you're right, there is no recoil at all.

[stubbostubbs]

Pain in the arse to carry but great against buildings and ok against the side armour of tanks

[pspboy7]

The Carl-G is like the C-130 Hercules, old but hard to replace because of reliablity.

[FredDude27]

@pspboy7

And the b52..and the A10 :)

[rufust1975]

The thing about the Charlie G is that the current rifle isn't that much different from the 1948 model (other than being a bit lighter, with external steel parts replaced by aluminium and plastic). The ammunition has been constantly upgraded over the decades. The oldest rounds wouldn't be as effective as an RPG7, newer rounds would be more effective.

To give you some idea, in 1982 a CG round put an Argentinian corvette in dry dock for three days of repairs at more than twice the range of an RPG7

[jointenn]

this weapon beats rpg7 anytime anywhere

[joercr]

its not a rocket , dont listen to that noob

[unnagal]

RPG7 better

[justadirtyoldsock]

@unnagal considering the carlgustav got airburst capabilities and i think it have a longer range as well as higher damage then the rpg 7.

[Konoton01]

@unnagal

Well, it depends on the ammunition really.
