  • aah Swedish enginering, love it

  • Wait, they're speaking English? And they're Swedish? I don't get it.

  • @CookiesAndGuns95 dude these are canadians

  • @CookiesAndGuns95 i think there american

  • @greensm1ley1 insertpunhere is right........look at the uniforms, it's cadpat which means that they are canadians.

  • on the h

  • One thing is sure it is not a stealth weapon

  • its not a practical

  • @shorttuga If its not practical, then how do you explain it is so widely used in the wests militaries?

  • @CarlAlex2 He probably meant to say "is not a nice, yes yes, in my country of Kazakhstan we use many trained bear yes, is very more a cheaper, chinquii".

  • Comment removed

  • Why do you yell out everything ur doing?

  • @Degenskonto CG is run by 2 man team - shooter and helper.

    Helper has to make sure noone is behinde the weapon till the very last moment.

    When shooter says standby and helper repeats then shooter knows its clear to shoot.

    +other aspects like making sure that helper knows what shooter is doing and other way around.

    Yelling - CG is really loud and after 1-2shots you might have whistling in your ear

    Atleast that's what my instructor said been running around with this weapon only for 1 month

  • @Degenskonto so your squad members know what your doing

  • only pride of sweden? :o

  • ontario?

  • Course Staff: "WITH A TP RAP ROUND, LOAD!"

    Soldier: "With a tp raabnldbLODE!"

    lol

  • My name is Gustav :P

  • @gustav0105 My name is Mason.

  • Dear santa...

  • Man watching a video of this thing being fired looks SO boring. Too bad youtubers can't feel the shockwave, hear the sound and see the impact of the real thing.

  • 84mm Carl Gustav... Now that would be an awesome christmas present

  • Looks like you guys weren't wearing hearing protection...or were you using just ear plugs? Enjoy the tinitus.

  • @Holidats u need double ear protection, plugs + cups. u can only shoot six rounds per day also. I was firing this weapon this weekend, combat excerice here in the country where it was made, Sweden!

  • @karlmhc I can fire 20 in a day and only need earplugs - after 25 years my hearing is still fully intact, so that is evidently enough.

  • @CarlAlex2

    Ahh, good to hear so positive feedback from such experience. Swedish army is known for over doing the safety regulations sometimes!

    I find it quite annoying with double hearing protection as you don't hear orders and constantly need to look back and forth towards your group leader.

  • @karlmhc

    With our active hearing protector we use today there is no big problem to hear orders even with aditional ear plugs.

    I shot a lot with the CG recoilless rifle and got my hearing deteriorated on account of shortcoming in hearing protector of that time.

  • @CarlAlex2 Just because your hearing is good it doensn´t mean that anyone else would not experience hearing problems... How sensetive your ears are is a very individual thing.

  • @Korkis its about work safety - if normal issue earplugs reduce the noise level below the level where hearing dammage is avoided, then it is enough. If a weak individual would be dammaged by that noise level, shou would most likely have gone deaf anyway due to the general level of noise in society.

    Don't get me wrong - I take safety very seroulsy. I even wear ear protection when firing blanks.

  • @CarlAlex2 One reason ear muffs are preferred for this use is they cut sound transferred through bone sound resonance. 

  • WHy is the cartridge blue? So it must be a practice round. right? cuz the only rounds that are blue are practice. ahahah

  • @bman231 Hence the description detailing the use of a TP RAP round

  • @bman231 Also, you can clearly hear in the beginning that they shout "TP RAP round Load!"

  • @bman231 actually, sometimes blue rounds can be incendairy rounds

  • @bman231

    It looks like the 20 mm practice arm we use in Sweden.

  • uchichi raprap low? what did he say?

  • @c00lb0y10 (something garbled - might be TP) RAP round load - Its an order to load the gun with a target practice RAP (Rocket Assisted Projectile) round.

  • the guy yelling sounds like whats his face from "Kids in the hall"

  • I leopard crawled up a hill with the carl gustav. All I recall was the damn tube knocking my helmet a million times on the way up.

    I'm now a little more retarded....hehz.

  • Stop with the hating and stupid arguring on these types of videos... For fucks sake it is 2 recruits in the training process to perfect the use of the weapon. Why talk about anything else really...

    good job to them... :)

  • @Araben13 Well accoding to the experience with BMP's in Afghanistan and Chechnya 95 % of all RPG hits penetrated - in most cases setting the BMP on fire eventually causing the ammunition stored in (of all places) the fighting compartment to explode.

    Carl Gustav HEAT rounds are better than RPG rounds.

    And in order to help deal with reactive armour you would have to hit the same armour panel twice, which is unlikely to happen in real life - this is why tandem warheds are issued to dela with it

  • @Araben13 Where did you get that silly idea ?

    A penetrating hit will certainly destroy an IFV - in the case of a BMP likely brew it up.

    If the round fails to penetrate subsequent rounds will not have a better chance to penetrate.

  • Nice vid, did you record? If not, where did you get it from?

  • Are these Royal Marines? Those digi's don't look American.

  • @bibblemethis Canadian. That is the original digital camo.

  • @resuberance Roger. Your snipers have been doing a hell of a job overseas by the way.

  • Don't like war? Why are you looking up videos of canadian army training? Get a life loser.

  • I want one!!!

  • I don't mean to bash, but this was a lot of unnecessary talking. Swedish minimum standard when i was a loader a few years back was 3 rounds in 16sec, most did it quicker than that. Me and my gunner did 4 in 12 sec. When shit hits the fan, you just want to get the round on target ASAP.

  • @paaaatrika The only time such a rate of fire would be desirable would be if doing a series of airbusts - that is one engagement with prepared ammo.

    Otherwise you would be firing faster than you can register the effect of previous shots - and what would be the point of that ?

    Its the loaders job to observe the fall of the shot - how can he do that if he is busy loading ?

    And how many grenades would you normally want to have removed from their containers ?

  • @CarlAlex2 Well i can only speak for myself, but suppose i yelled it was clear behind, and then turned and someone walked into the back blast. In war every safety rule changes for sure, but this wasn't in war. The gunner i had almost never missed anyway. In a prepared posotion i favored having all of the ammo stacked up just in case, putting them back in is quicker than getting them out, and the gunner can help with that so.

    This might take another post..

  • @CarlAlex2 I was taught to have the next round ready before the shot was fired. Holding it like you would hold a baby with one arm (the left one), as soon as the shot is made, i unload the shell, and already have a new one in the right position to load. As you may know, because the triggering mechanism only goes one way it's important to have the round turned with the groove down so all i have to do is put it in. Hope this explains my view at least! Greetings from Swe and excuse any poor Eng.

  • @CarlAlex2 I'll be happy to clarify more, but basically what i mean by holding it like a baby is that you hold it between your palm and elbow with the firing mechanism/trigger, or what ever the correct word is at your palm. So all you have to do is eject the shell with the right hand and insert the next with your left. It takes practice but eventually you get a really nice fluidity to it. If nothing else, it's never a disadvantage *being able to* get the shots off faster.

  • @CarlAlex2 Buddy - your eggs when hung on an antitank firing range.

  • canadian military?  oh boy youll never live up to ww2.... nazis won the war...were in the fourth reich.

  • That thing looks heavy , but it really takes 2 soldiers to load that thing?

  • The Carl was my weapon when I was with the Rangers at Ft. Lewis.

    This weapon system kicks ass.

    Nuff Said.

  • Awww, we don't get to see the explosion?

  • MY question isnt about the shouting, and its not a sarcastic one. Im just wondering though how fast can people who have trained with it and been using it shoot it? I mean how many rounds can they get out?

  • @make1up726 In theory it is 6 rounds per minute, but this does not include aquiring new targets, adjusting detonation range of HE ammo (and illumination ammo), unpacking ammo etc.

    Max. rate is most likely to be achieved when reengaging the same target after missing or failing to kill it or when doing a multi round airburst mission (having prepared the ammo in advance)

  • sick video the Carl G is sick

    

  • sW3D3n FtW

  • @CarlAlex2 I understand you

  • why the second guy hugs the arrow?

  • @Imprudentman The loader hugs the gunner in order to provide a more stable firing position - the gun is very heavy and hard to hold still without something to lean on.

  • @CarlAlex2 Yes, second guy does 70 percent of the work, and at the same time - the assistant gunner. It's pretty fun - really. It's - the U.S. Army or not?

  • @Imprudentman No they are Canadians

  • @CarlAlex2 A good tool to deal with bored and always noisy neighbors. This is a joke. This device has potential anti-tank, and if so how many millimeters of armor punch shot? "If it's top secret, you can not write. Who watches this video will get interesting information.

  • Anyway, a boring video. Gives ABSOLUTELY no impression of the power unleashed when firing the Carl Gustav. It´s like getting hit with a wet towel - all over your body at the same time. Definitely the most exciting infantry-weapon to shoot, I really got my kicks out of that one "back in my days".....

  • Fun Fact: this rocket launcher is nicknamed "MiniMan" by the Swedish military.

    Why?

    Because it makes you a mini man when it 1/57 times prematurely Splodes in yo face!

  • hoorah Boys nice firing good team work.keep up the good work.

  • shit pumps

  • @adammaster88 Just gettin out of battle school chief?

  • @adammaster88 lol

  • Bad company 2 oh yeah M2 carl gustav forever

  • a 63 year old weapon, and still one of the best in the world. that is Swedish design, we dont make much things, but when we do we make quality stuff. like the Bofors 40 mm cannon that was built 1930 and got adopted by many armies and still are, a 81 year old weapon, with a few upgrades but it is almost the same as it was when it was designed, just like the Carl Gustav M48 or the upgraded version M86

  • I love this weapon, almost jizz in my pants when shooting it...I hit a tree I was aiming at , at over 800 meters with a smokenade :D awsome weapon!

  • @Gfors85 Is that so? Youve obviously not carried the bloody thing very far. tabbing (marching) with this on a 10 or 20 miler is a total bastard.

    As for the hit over 800 mtrs. Total BOLLOX

    Ex Brit airborne

  • @stubbostubbs believe what you want, I got that on video, you hear the sound from the tree echoes...;)

    haha yeah I have carried that and my light mg in like 60 cm snow for miles so, you have to make sure its tight to your body so it does not move that much ...or maybe we are not as whiny as you?

    I also had the m/48 one, of steel and not the new synthetic lighter one.

  • @Gfors85 Well well, thats the first time a craphat has ever questioned the fitness of a Brit Para. if you knew anything about the mil at all, you wouldnt have gone there.

    OBVIOUSLY, you carry the 84 as well as your personal weapon, that goes without saying. You seem to think thats something unique!

    As for having it tight to your body..... lol, I hope you can get it into action rapido when its required or will you get slotted by armour whilst your sorting it out !!

  • @stubbostubbs brit-para using the word "lol"? haha fag-army or what? xD

  • @Gfors85 Just taking the piss out of you mate. ive probably done more time in the slipstream than youve done in the mil.. Just laughing at your bullshit. Any mob that has a bloke carrying the 84 mm plus an LMG is either crap or the bloke is bullshitting. Now if youd carried the SMG or equiv sized personal wapon with it, I might have believed you. but, as it is, youve shown yourself to be a wank mag mate.

    Toodle pip

  • @stubbostubbs sorry dude, but I really did...Im in a armordivision so we are driven lots with our stuff...but I still have humped that shit for miles....but mostly we are going by vehicle. and no, the FN minimi 249 para verions is not a smg, its a Lmg ;) 5,56 you know.

    hmm speaking of which, what weapons do you have? as I told you before my main weapon is the minimi and then I had the GRG of charlie G as you call it ...

  • @Gfors85 The ONLY way to carry the 84 and have it ready for immediate use (as it should be), is to have it over the shoulder. Simple. Carrying it any other way is naieve and tactically wank! But thats what you get with amateurs.

  • @stubbostubbs yeah, we know nothing of the m48 ! not 84.... we only invented it. ofcourse you deepshit queenloving fucktards knows better how to use them...get lots and try to hit something atleast within 100 meters you prick. oh and great job shooting down that US plane in Iraq, well done, you do know they are on your side? right? hahahahahaa pissant.

  • @stubbostubbs You don't move around with the gun loaded do you ?

    Doing so would be asking for an accident to happen - you REALLY don't want to risk an accidental discharge with a backblast weapon.

    Besides how would you know what ammunition type to load before the target is known ?

  • @stubbostubbs Why would a hit within the effective range of the round fired (smoke) be "Total bollox" ?

  • @CarlAlex2 Not Smoke. It´s the Hollow Charge Training Projectile, you can tell by the blue color and the conical shape. Smokegrenades are, like fragmentation- and illumination-projectiles round-tipped.

  • @signorpippistrello The guy who claimed a hit at 800 meters said he did so with a smoke grenade - nothing to do with what is shown in the video.

  • One of the guys sounds like Jim Carrey :)

  • aren't they Canadian?

  • Glad no one was shooting back.................slow gunner slow loader too much slow

  • 0:16 "WE FOUND SOME CHEEAP TACOS!!! WE FOUND SOME CHEEAP TACOS!!!"

  • Ah reminds me of my army days and constant training with the APILAS. I fired it once and I still have a rining in my ears, damn loud weapon...wonder if its in use anymore.

  • the swedish weapons is the best :D sweden ownes :D

  • Not too used to the weapon, clear from the way he removes the shell....

  • They should of used "Sleigh of Hand Pro" From Call of Dutty XD

  • @mikehill01

    i get it right every once in a while.

    when it's not too loud.

  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2 :P

  • boner

  • if you have complained about the yelling and all the noise you are not now in any uniformed military service, nor have you ever been.

    you are also not a veteran of any armed conflict.

    nor have you have never participated in a combat event.

    combat is loud.

    the enemy that is being targeted with AT weapons is usually at AT range (too far away to hear shit).

    so shut the fuck up and quit worrying about things that you don't have the balls to participate in.

    we adults have it covered.

  • @tapper45 Hoorah

  • @tapper45 wow you really unloaded into someone's ass Col. Klink....lol

  • @tapper45 hehehe, yes.. They are also usually in some sort of armoured vehicle so I'd say it's pretty safe to yell without them hearing shit. For all of those that find it peculiar, this is a really dangerous weapon with a back blast that will seriously fuck up your day if you are in it's way.. That is why they check if anyone or anything is behind the weapon before firing.

  • @Zuhko I'll say to you, but this is a general response to many of the comments here... AND it's been mentioned numerous times. These are new RECRUITS shooting this weapon for the first time on a carefully controlled range.

  • @Zuhko ALSO... These guys went on to see combat in Afghanistan where we employ this weapon system regularily and I can assure you, it is employed quickly and effectively. How many of the heroes on here commenting about how fast they are/were or how these guys would be useless in combat have actaully ever seen combat?

  • @D1rtyDog

    most important of all, Zuhko is not employed in the armed forces. If he were he would've known you always yell during training to minimize the risk of accidents. FYI: the CG M/48 have a backblast of 70 meters. There's ni reason not to yell

  • @D1rtyDog dont talk shite. Its CRAP!. So obselete.

  • @Zuhko i was thinking the same.

  • @Zuhko just remember, in a real combat situation with enemy armor or emplacements (Assuming this is where this would be used at peak effectiveness) bullets and perhaps other rockets are flying. You need to be loud. In the field communication is the most important thing. Thats why we have such a damn good army. We communicate, and can effectively accomplish an objective with varying amounts of resistance.

  • @Zuhko its not COD dick head u cant shoot this thing in 1 hand at a full sprint then reload and shoot again every 2 secconds. It's clearly training aswell

  • @wormmy158 1. this weapon doesnt exsist in cod idot and 2. yelling has nothing to do with cod fuckface

  • @Zuhko You are a clear case of 'dick for brains'

  • @wormmy158 you know "if you cant hit anything, dont shoot." ? its like your talking right now

  • @Zuhko what the fuck are you talking about? your on here telling people they are gonna die because of the yelling, in THIS situation it's if you cant hit anything reload, and practice until you can. you are an idiot.

  • @Zuhko Idiot, its a Firering range and they are in training, thats the way to do it,

  • @Zuhko lol.... It does make a fkin big bang though. We binned it years ago.

    Brit Airborne.

  • @Zuhko you're ignorant

  • @Zuhko you`re disgustingly ignorant.

  • @Zuhko Dude, when you're using a weapon where the fucking *backblast* alone can fry someone's face off, you don't fuck around. Double in a combat zone.

  • @John234pwns Jup, I just saw a clip from the Iran-Iraq war where some poor guy gets hit by the backblast of an rpg-7 fired by his buddy. Pretty sure I saw some pieces of the guy floating around. Even though I have no military experience what so ever(other than video games ;) ) I know the back of a ''rocket launcher'' of any kind, is no place you ever want to be.

  • @Zuhko these guys are in combat training firing the weapon for the first time you cant go apeshit or battlefield point blank asshole with it on training idiot

  • i wanted to kill my self that guys voice was so annoying

  • I don't see why the Carl Gustav needs a 2 man team, seems like the job could be done with 1 man.

  • @firepower01 hhaha you'd be suprised dude. i said the same thing but i was happy to have my ftp there loading rounds for me.

    anyways for all the ppl looking to join the army, this is by far the best weapon ive shot so far. loud as a motherfucker tho

  • @firepower01

    With a loader you can fire off may be 5-8 rounds in one minute if you are fast.

    If alone may be two

  • @firepower01

    it's easy to load and fire by yourself but keeping your eyes open for targets while your loader keeps the tube hot gives you better situational awareness and can save your life.

  • @tapper45 QUE? Youre talking bollox. How can the backblast area be kept clear if you are the only one supporting the weapon. DOH!

  • @stubbostubbs

    i'm a little confused by your "english".

    the weapon is "fired" by one person.

    do you mean a 2 man "fire-team"?

    regardless of the # of people present during operation the gunner yells "clear!" before firing.

    that's as simple as i can make it for you.

  • @d1rtydog I will.. thank you for the advise I will do that and I was wondering if you knew my dad at all his name is Robert short he was stationed with the Royal canadian regiment and i know you said not to talk again but I just have to see if you do

  • No sir they do not teach that at saint Jean my dad was a soldier sir and with all do respect I would like to aploguiez for my rude behavier earlier

  • @TheCFarmy Try that again.... only in English this time.

  • Fire!!! then they wait.....standby then they shoot???? wtf????

  • Search for "GRG m48 fast reloading" and you'll see a m/48 team from Swedish army. It takes a while to get that skilled. Been there, done that.. and yes, they take aim. They're shooting smoke and it's not as heavy shel as the HE..but still.

  • Fuck man like Carl G is awesome but you never gets to fire it. One thing i hate about the army is we don't spend enough time out on the range. You know what be sweet, but ridiculous, if we had the budget the American's have only for our Army. We would have so much money stoppage drills would be like, "firing down range weapons STOP - Throw weapon down pick up new rifle !" lol

  • Is the guy that's loading the round holding the shooter? Why was he looking back towards the breech?

  • @MonteLSV6 He's holding on to the 'shooter' because you want to be as close to that thing as humanly possible when it goes off. I was like 8 inches shorter than the number 1 (shooter) when I first fired it; and the concussing force is soo intense that it sucked every ounce of air out of my lungs...and I could pretty much feel my brain compress. The closer you are; the less you feel. He is looking back to make sure nothing is behind when it fires...if there is something there; it'll be dead!

  • ahh ok. Thanks for the clarification dude. :)

  • @MonteLSV6 He checks only backwards, so the exhaust does not bounce back against them, or so there is no person behind where it also flies out shrapnel at the rear on the weapon,Then he says that it is clear backwards, and turns his head toward the goal to confirm a hit or if the shooter needs to refocus its sights

  • I see, thanks for the clarification dude :)

  • @ponthusssss Actually the No.2 looks forward just before firing so he doesn't singe his eyeballs.

  • @cxdougxw my dear friend, I am a grenade shooter in the military, neither the charger or the shooter comes into contact with the exhaust, it's Sweden that has learned the united states of Carl Gustav, so I know what I'm talking about:)

  • @ponthusssss my dear friend, I am a rifleman in the Australian army. I've done my training with the 84. I also know what I'm talking about:)

    Plus yep, these guys are slow, but we do a bit different drills.

  • @cxdougxw During Infantry qualification.

    So it would make sense they would be a little slow.

    Cheers,

    Canadian Infantryman

  • @PcGamerPaul grammar nazi here: correction

    Anti-Tank infantrymen

  • @cxdougxw ... its a practice fire, you may be an expert with 84 but during field firing you do it deliberately so that the both the det knows and learn.

    we follow the same drill but its bit different.... you need to shout the order aloud so that the firer can hear. its a dangerous weapon need to handle responsibly ... learn and you will master.

  • @cxdougxw a good standard two man team in battle can pop off an average of 9-11 rounds per minute, even at 9 that's 3 rounds over the standard 6 that this weapon is rated for, so slow, I think not.

  • @Hawkeye323232 I didnt mean the 84 was slow... I meant this particular team is.

  • @cxdougxw Their being trained, and are new to its use, I am certain you were no better when you were first learning.

  • @Hawkeye323232 In your dreams mate. Accurate loading/firing takes about 10 secs per round. And I am talking ACCURATE. Therefore your 9-11 rnds is way off.

  • @ponthusssss .... the backward check is because ... carl g has a back blast area of 15 meter at 15 degree. anything near it will become bar b q

  • my favourite weapon from my time in the army :)

  • i didn't even realize he shot the thing when he did!!!

  • UNLOAD! UNLOAD! UNLOAD! SHUT UP AND FUCKING SHOOT DOUCHEBAGS!

  • @vkohmoviemaker Stick to your video games moron.

  • @xFogxofxWarx And why are you commenting on 9 fucking comments? Don't you have anything better to do then scrolling through the comments?

  • damn that was slow:P

  • @ponthusssss They are recruits firing it for the first time. Your first time firing it would be pretty slow too.

  • @xFogxofxWarx I am a grenade shooter.Me and my charger, we shoot six grenades in 30 sec, Therefore, I wrote that they were slow:)

  • @ponthusssss and the first time you fired a Carl G it was fast? They are recruits who have never touched a Carl G outside of a classroom before this. They are going to be slow as they are still learning how to handle the weapon. A trained Canadian tank hunting team can fire something like 7 rounds from this in a minute. Give them time and they'll improve.

  • @ponthusssss First time I fired the Carl G was probably a lot slower than this....it was also -37 degrees Celcius that day.

  • Does that fire tank rounds? or at least smaller tank rounds?

  • @Greil796 Nope, it fires 84mm recoilless rounds. the base blows out at the same time the main round is fired. the recoil of the gasses venting out the back balances the recoil of the main round leaving the front.

    If you want more detail etc, search ''Carl Gustav recoilless rifle'' on wikipediea or somesuch :)
