@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".
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.
@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!
@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.
@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.
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...
@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

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.
@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.
@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.
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)
@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?
@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".....
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
@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 !!
@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.
@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.
@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.
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.
@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?
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
@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
@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 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
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.
@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
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
@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!
@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
@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:)
@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 .... 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 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 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.
@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 :)

@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 ?

@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 11 months ago
@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.

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 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

itachiitachi1946 1 year ago
@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.

@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.

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

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 11 months ago
@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.

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.
mikegnorp 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
@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!
xFogxofxWarx 1 year ago
ahh ok. Thanks for the clarification dude. :)
MonteLSV6 1 year ago
@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

@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 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 1 year ago
@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 1 year ago
@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 :)
