Carl Gustafs M45 calibro 9x19

[mkarnerfors]

Holy smoke!! The acoustics in that room makes it sound totally bad-ass! Mine never sounded that tough. Never fired it indoor. :)

/MK, Swedish airforce 1994-1995.

[antibulletdodger101]

greese gun

[ZuperZeize]

@antibulletdodger101 Nope.

[ss19800]

Yeah! Cover the walls with lead!!!

[Zitochi2]

den påminner lite om TEC-9 och MP40

[CommanderCooper]

Looks like a combo between an MP40 and a Sten to me.

[WunderDoob]

@krll48

I was gonna guess Suomi but "Svenska" kind of gives it away doesn't it. 

[bpmelo]

yeah !!! mafia gun hehehe

[davvvvo]

carl gustav recoless rifle is a bazooka

in roblox its used but hold onside and backwords

[davvvvo]

@mrpoopdaddy then you should know grease gun dosent look like this ask a vietnam veteran

[deepwoodskentuckian]

some us special forces used this weapon in vietnam it is a wonderful submachine gun it was pretty effective 

[jiken100]

made in sweden!

Submachine gun m/45 (tommy gun) is a previously used weapons in the Swedish Armed Forces. The gun works on the principle heavy, unregulated end piece and is a fully automatic weapon, intended to shoot with automatic fire, but you can with a little practice to learn to also deliver patronvis fire. Tommy gun was used in over 60 years of service in the armed forces.

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke np bro

[JohnAnderssonTV]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke Yes

[guyonfire87]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke the weapon,YES

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke Yes it is, einstein.

[PepsiTasteLikeCoke]

@cuzgandalfgothigh99 why should it not be swedish?

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke .........

[pickinthatbanjo]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke is gustav sweedish? I always thought he was german (gustav was obviously the designer right?)

[Fittbit]

@pickinthatbanjo Yes its Swedish. Carl Gustav is the name of our king (Carl XII Gustav)

[pickinthatbanjo]

@Fittbit Wow, i never would have guessed. Thanks

[Ailasor]

@Fittbit actually. its not named after this king. its made from an old company called carl gustav gevärsfaktori, after the king who opened it in 1813, if im not misstaken. their guns are named after the factory they are made in. not the "sitting" king of sweden.. history lesson over =)

[EmptyAnton]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke yes

[BrutalMetalViking]

@PepsiTasteLikeCoke ...

[jamesejudy3]

One of the best sub guns ever made (still). Wish I could get one... but not here in Peoples' Republik of Kalifornia! Oh No! =(

[NinjaFreak626]

How much is this nerf gun?

[samiskii]

Dear santa...

[MrTsotw]

@ghanaboyz what are you saying about my opinion? Do you speak italian?

[ghanaboyz]

@MrTsotw Very sorry, I have no idea how I involved you. Probably my misstake completely, I intended to reply alexbigking2 who wrote about german engineering. And no, unfortunately I don not speak Italian, whish I did.

Nice video, nice gun.

[paininthe10]

@ghanaboyz  Google Translate....English into any language you want and vise versa.

[ghanaboyz]

@paininthe10 I know, but thanks for the tips. Do you think I should have used it for writing in Italian here? Not sure I understand why really, even if (again) I think Italian in nice. English is not my native language anyway.

Is this off topic, no? ;-)

[alexbigking2]

German engeniring in the House

[ghanaboyz]

@alexbigking2 German?? Why do you say that? Do you know what you are speaking about at all?

It's Swedish. Sure, lots of guns can track the basic idea from german WWII gun design, but heck, thats pretty far fetched. Early, there were also 50 shots mag available, later models also had fitting for bayonet (never wrong for preventive crowd control). Special forces had some kind of silencer available. I have read licensed version was used in war in Libanon and perhaps elsewhere.

[alexbigking2]

@ghanaboyz never swedish it was the same problem like the ak47 all stolen ingenierings

[ghanaboyz]

@alexbigking2 I am not sure I understand what you mean. The Swedes making this weapon DID study SEVERAL existing weapons and weapon designs. Thats is NO secret (it just make good sense!) and is certainly not "stealing". Pretty hard word that, should be used with care.

It's not a downright copy of any german weapon and the actual engineeering was indeed Swedish in Sweden. Why talk about ak47? There is PLENTY of sources on the Swedish m/45. Try wiki.

[PoppingSanta]

@alexbigking2

Shut up

[MrTsotw]

Carina anche se il tempo del 9x19 non è più quello di una volta.

[gillyh2745]

@ghanaboyz Actually, to utillise the 50 round magazine for this weapon, the magazine housing required to be removed by extracting the 2 "holders", that house the usual 36 round mag. The 50 round one that you mention is identical to that used on the 1931 Suomi SMG from Finland. There is even a selective fire variant and indeed a bayonet version that was used by Swede UN troops in Africa. Indeed, this gun has little, if anything to do with German designs appart from the barrel shroud(MP18)...?

[ghanaboyz]

@gillyh2745 Hehe, the max lenght cut me short. Yeah, m/45C for bayonete. One licenced variant of m/45 refered to by some as Port Said (as in the port) was made in Egypt, but I guess few know how it spread from there. Belive they could be seen in Libanon & in some countries close by. Btw, I belive I have seen pictures of at least two different silencers or supressors, one US (long) and Swedish (compact). US LRRPs in Vietnam tried them I belive. Some says SEALs tried silencers also.

[1Gabrielsson1]

The CG M-45 was used by US during the Vietnam war.

[az12223]

@1Gabrielsson1 and Congo crisis

[1Gabrielsson1]

@az12223 yes I forgott about that, sorry

Thank you

[WhatsaUserName321]

not a whole lotta kick is there?

[stealthinsweden]

I read that the Navy Seals, used it with sound suppressor in th vietnam war...(?)

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

@stealthinsweden They used left over M45s, and wanted to get more, but Sweden refused to export weapons to the US because of our involvement in the war. So we cheated, and reprocuced it, the S&W M76.

[stealthinsweden]

@ch0k1ngh4z4rd Is the S&W M76 better, than the original.?

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

@stealthinsweden Hell if I know. Same size round, same length barrel, pretty much identical innards. I imagine they'd perform the same.

[stealthinsweden]

@ch0k1ngh4z4rd There must be be some differerencies...(?)I´ll bet the US version is better. The m45 is like the kalasjnikov, of submachineguns...reliable, but in accurate piece of shit...:-D

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

@stealthinsweden Not neccessarily. We don't make all the best stuff. If anything, the M76 could very well have suffered from a decrease in quality that almost always occurs when something gets mass produced.

And keep in mind, the only obvious difference between the M45 and the M76 is that place they got made.

[stealthinsweden]

@ch0k1ngh4z4rd OK, I´ll bet we have unused 1000´s of that m45, stored that´ll never be used. We should have sold off some of them...But, thats just my country Sweden....:-/

[nehcrum]

@stealthinsweden

Not quite true actually.

It is pretty accurate, problem is that in the army, they strip it down a bit too far when they clean. including removing the barrel.

This of course shifts the sights when you then reassemble it, so you have to re-align the sights after every time you've cleaned it, so your sights are almost always wrong.

Civilian target shooters quickly found it that it is no need to remove the barrel in order to clean the weapon.

[stealthinsweden]

@nehcrum 9mm ammo, I would not use it at a target, more than 50m from me...If you want to do so, then do so...

[LukeLamping]

looks like a MP40 spinnoff

[KarILsson]

Its a realy good and reliable weapon a bit old doh :D. 2 xM45 was tested before they was going too be scrap if it was possible to shoot it to destruction, after fired approx 22-25k they only fail 3 times caused by the magazine was not in place. Thats quality 8)

[davidmarino96]

which is better mp40 or this?

[IVANGROZNEY]

Why is it that the Carl Gustov dosent climb and the S&W copy does? I can see why the US special forces liked them.

[Wolfogre]

@IVANGROZNEY

It's very heavy for a submachine gun.

Close to 4,5 kilos fully loaded.

[snipper1ie]

@IVANGROZNEY It climbs!

[Andreask93]

@IVANGROZNEY Yes, they are also very rugged and reliable, the S&W was not as reliable.

[LemmiWinks1909]

looks a bit like the mp40

[bananacockroach]

@LemmiWinks1909 ya it looks like a type 100 and an mp40 mixed

[Wiromax3]

this weapon can be seen in the movie RED (2010), with Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich

[MrDrakir]

perfect fore the Congo jungle

[Shufflingboyify]

@olle971 retard...

[olle971]

@Shufflingboyify Fuck you it is!

[Shufflingboyify]

@olle971 ? i can't and wont fuck my self, and ur still a retard

[WunderDoob]

Carl Gustav is probably better known for his M2 84mm Recoilless Rifle. It's a beast

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob no its a gun

[WunderDoob]

@lordofdarkdudes

well I think it's damn sexy 

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob it is but its not a beast its a gun :P

[WunderDoob]

@lordofdarkdudes

this is an american expression "it's beast"  like raw power

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob but its not a beast its a gun!

[WunderDoob]

@lordofdarkdudes

no it's a beast alright, it even has a tail

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob facepalm* its not  a living thing!

[WunderDoob]

@lordofdarkdudes

we fed it some peanut butter. It seemed to enjoy it

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob OMG!!! THATS SOOO STUPID!!! IT CANT EAT!!

[WunderDoob]

@lordofdarkdudes

are you sure? hey where did your sandwich go... OH NO. SOMEONE LET IT OUT OF IT'S CAGE!

[lordofdarkdudes]

@WunderDoob lol!

[IVANGROZNEY]

@WunderDoob Yes now besause the US military and others use the recoiless rifle. In the 60's and 70's if you said a Carl Gustav this is what most people knew you ment.

[WunderDoob]

@IVANGROZNEY

No I was referring to the M2 Carl Gustav 84mm Recoilless Rifle. The first of it's type, this was the building block for all future recoil-less anti-armor systems.

[WunderDoob]

@IVANGROZNEY

The US military still acquires it's SRAW weapon system from Swedish manufacturers. We also have a delicious friend that you can eat, called "Swedish Fish".

[PoppingSanta]

@WunderDoob

I have a hard time imagining that my king designed M84 when he was only 2 years old, and designed the M45 a year before he was born....what I'm trying to say is that he ain't the dude that made them.

[porrsmurfen]

@WunderDoob Carl Gustav is not the manufacturer or designer of the weapon, it's just a name given to the weapon after a swedish king.

[musicbitch182]

@WunderDoob

You play bfbc i bet...and if you use the carl....you're a homo just saying

[WunderDoob]

@musicbitch182

I guess that means you're the camping scope-whore who just ate an 84mm shell after taking poorly aimed potshots at my squad, then logged into the EA forums and complained about the Hot Carl being "overpowered" because you can't aim or relocate like a proper sniper, resulting in me having to use two shells instead of just one.

Have a nice day : )

[musicbitch182]

@WunderDoob

No actually i hate snipers, so if you use your gustav on them you're good LOL but i hate it when i get nailed with one while running and the dude is in a bush and has mk2 and a platinum on it. Oh yeah and no golds on any snipers, got the m95 with the g3 and quit using it. My best class is Assault and Engineer and 3 best weapons are the 1911, m416 and ump .45...no rocket golds either.

[WunderDoob]

@musicbitch182

you can find my stats under "Free_Belfast1971" 

[hejrobert]

@WunderDoob Det är en gamal svensk kpist = kulsprutepistol K-pist m/45

36 skotts magasin caliber: 9 x 19 mm Svenska UN truppen i Kongo under september och december 1961 var besvikna på den vanliga 9x19 mm Parabellum . ( 39B militär amnution klarar att gå igenom 50 lager kevlar ( skyddvästar av klass IIIA ) 7 cm tegel. 25 cm trä. Kulvikten är 6,8 gram (106 grain) och kulans utgångshastighet är 420 m/s när den skjuts ur kpist m/45, vilket ger en anslagsenergi på 600 joule

[WunderDoob]

@hejrobert

I don't even know what language that is. I'm a stupid American.

[lulle103]

@hejrobert Shit alltså! Sattsare där!

[antibulletdodger101]

@hejrobert Jävla supernörd. Vill man ta reda på liknande information googlar man fram det på fem sekunder precis som du gjorde. Teknisk fakta är intressant för personer som aldrig varit i närheten av vapnet.

[maigeri32]

My father how used this gun during his military service 1967 in Sweden said that it was only effective up to 50m because you couldnt throw it further...:-)

[RQBBAN]

@maigeri32

heheh, same with mine ;)

[brianl890]

Firearms don't scare me at all. Why should people choose to be afraid of people that own firearms? Unless they believe that we are all predisposed to killing each other and have no sense of duty to being kind and loving. That way of thinking scares me much more than a citizen owning any gun, including a submachinegun.

[brianl890]

I don't think Ikea would endorse them any time soon. They are pro-establishment and use Chinese labour ( Canadian guy hence 'labour' instead of 'labor'). It is a simple matter of free people being able to govern their own lives. Doesn't bother me. Why should I be afraid of a mere object such as an smg or machine pistol. We either choose to be free, compassionate citizens or we choose to be wards of the state.

[thelittlebiggerman09]

First thing I thought of when I saw it, was the MP40

[JDSFLA]

The Carl Gustov M/45 was only manufactured in 9mm. It is named M/45 due to being adopted by Sweden in the year 1945. So there is no such thing as a caliber .45 Gustov - only some people are confusing the year of adoption with the caliber.

[9drzipe]

swe?

[Internetzpolice]

Joker's gun!!!

[audaresemper]

Heard that Chilean militarized police, Carabineros, found it useless the day they had to fire against sharpshooters from 3rd floor above. Apparently the block was too heavy and they did not recycle if shooting upwards, may be true or false. Besides that, a good weapon.

[BonkMan2]

I'm Swedish

[giannacopulos95]

grande arma

[nickazima08]

swedish proud!;)

[Tjita1]

-40 is extreme, but this winter we've had -20 even in the southern parts, wich I would say i rather unusual too. Celsius that is. In the summer though, we have up to 30-35 degrees in the shadows.

[Dimension13XYZZY]

@mrpoopdaddy: No, they are different guns. The M/45 is swedish and chambered in 9x19 only, the M3 "grease gun" is american and chambered in 9x19 or .45.

[Nicodemus98]

@Dimension13XYZZY I've never seen, in over thirty years in the business, an M-3 in 9X19. U.S. military specs for the M-3 is .45 ACP. I have seen several Swedish "K"'s all in .45 ACP. American Special Forces in Vietnam prized the Swedish K for their ruggedness and reliability. And the fact 45 ACP ammo was plentiful, where the 9mm was not part of our arsenal until years after Vietnam ended. Personally, the change to 9mm was a huge error.

[Dimension13XYZZY]

@Nicodemus98 Ok, I have never seen an M/45 in .45 ACP :) All of them was made here in sweden as 9x19 para, so the .45 version must have been modded in the US??

As for ruggedness - yes they can take a lot of damage and still work. I personally drove over one with a terrain vehicle by accident. I just had to do minor adjustment to the iron sights...

We always had heavy rugged stuff like the M/45 and the G3... first time with an M16 i was shocked by how light it was, G3 size with M/45 weight...

[Nicodemus98]

@Dimension13XYZZY I absolutely hated the M-16A1. I drug an FN-FAL, M-60 and or an M-14 around rather than deal with the plastic stocked ball bat. Having Mattel Toy Co. on the butt didn't instill great confidence in it either. The A2 was a great improvement, but I never liked the 5.56 round, I guess I spent to much time varmint hunting with it, to use it as battle rifle. Give a thirty cal every time. The 6.8 mm SPC round, if adopted, will be a vast improvement. But .308 is better yet.

[bogbrush88]

@Nicodemus98 This is very interesting - I haven't heard of a Swedish M/45 in .45ACP either. Who were they customised by, and can you remember how many rounds the mag could hold?

Great gun - their penetration ability with the 1400 fps Swedish M/39B ammo is legendary and they had good range too.

[Nicodemus98]

@bogbrush88 I never got a straight answer on that.. I heard they were ordered from the manufacture in .45, and I heard they were modified by one of the DOD arsenals, Rock Island or Remington, but don't know for sure. Strangely I never saw one at Bragg once I got back. Ton of M-3 Grease Guns, but not single Swedish "K". I wish I could have sent one home. I suppose they were probably left behind, like tons of other stuff. Anyway, the "K" was a great sub gun.

[truckerhill]

@bogbrush88 the mag hold 36 bullets

[knarris]

sweden:D

[MarkTools]

i love the sound of this toy! :-)

[MrTeckman01]

thats what she said

[TheBertucciassassina]

ok grazie

[TheBertucciassassina]

ma di ke epoca è? risp

[pytte98]

I am from sweden so I love this weapon

[mothermoo1]

The m/45 is very reliable. Swedish attack divers used to swim with it under water and then when they came out of the water it was only to shake the remaining water out of the barrel and start shooting. The only thing it don't like is cold since it is stored well greased. You have to clean it thoroughly but after that I have used it below -40 degrees Celsius without any problem.

[Thatevilmidget]

Fantastic little SMG's, I'm just not a fan of the 9mm round. I prefer my 7.62x25 Tokarev pistol round any day. Now if you adapted the K45 to 7.62x25, I'd never want any other SMG.

[Dimension13XYZZY]

Very reliable is almost an understatement. I accidentaly put mine on the front left tire of a fully loaded TG40 (terrain truck), then forgot it and jumped in and drove away *krunch* front wheel *krunccch* rear wheel...

I was like "oops, crap".. stopped and picked it up and test fired and it worked just fine. Iron sights needed some minor adjustments.

[Fleffy11]

Kulsprutepistol m/45 (Kpist m/45), also known as the Carl Gustav M/45 and the Swedish K SMG, is a 9 mm Swedish submachine gun designed by Gunnar Johnsson, adopted in 1945 (hence the m/45 designation), and manufactured at the Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori (Carl Gustaf State Weapons Factory) in Eskilstuna city.

The m/45 was the official submachine gun of the Swedish Army after the Second World War. The m/45 SMG was also used by US Special Forces in the Vietnam War.

[Fleffy11]

from wikapedia

[skkoooog]

The mp 40 have the cockinghandle on the left side and a 32 round clip

M45 is a swedish design i have used it durin military service and later M 45 have 36 round clip and cocking handle on the right side one of the assesories is a speed loader that makes it possible to fill a clip very fast

[conn0412]

@skkoooog the m45 shoots 600 rpm the mp40 shoots 550 rpm they are very similar

[Dimension13XYZZY]

@sskoooog: magazine, not clip.

[schreech7202]

I think your refering to the "burp gun" better known as the Mp40, wich has nothing to do with the Carl Gustafs M45 calibro 9x19, Sorry for the poor spelling.

[TeamTomat0]

If I'm right now, It is a swedish gun from 1945 and it did'nt not been used by the nazis.

[Gurkmomma]

@TeamTomat0 even if its a little late for anyone to comment since it has ben 10 monts, anyhow it was not used by nazi germany or any other nation beside Sweden in the second world war, but it was used by US in the Vietnam war

[TeamTomat0]

@Gurkmomma Yeah, it was in some war in africa too, congo I think :P

[Andreask93]

@TeamTomat0 Correct, but the guy who designed it was a member of the Swedish Nazi party.

[DudeisSk8tingnow]

@TeamTomat0 i think u are and they are mistaking it cuz it looks like a mp40

[afluffyman]

where have i seen this gun before............ oh ya WW2 looks like the sten and the mp4

[s3ath]

thats not a carl gustaf . carl gustaf i used was a anti tank rockit launcher

[ThornBjorn]

This submachine gun is also called Carl Gustaf, altough its not a very common name for it these days.

[muffe66]

well thats wrong. the name is from our king. not from a random war hero who hasen´t a jack shit to do with swedish weponry

[Tangweizzeful]

I want one. Well just because I'm part Swedish, I love Europe and Swedish chicks are Gorgeous lol.

[DESERTHAWKIN]

can i pick one up at IKEA?

[Tjita1]

Only if you know how to use an allen wrench. ;)

[big92fs]

@DESERTHAWKIN Lame!

[DESERTHAWKIN]

@big92fs Lame is what your sense of humor consists of!

[laksemann]

@DESERTHAWKIN Ask Ingvar Kamprad first lol

[LittleGuitarz]

@DESERTHAWKIN along with the meatballs :P

[MrDrakir]

@DESERTHAWKIN sorry they only have furniture <- my english neds help

but i agree they shode sell this gun there to it's that swedish

[FackYeah]

@DESERTHAWKIN Sure you can, but you have to put it together on your own then ;)

[Kaospojken94]

@DESERTHAWKIN

Sadly, no.

But damn do I wish you could!

[lundholm4]

Hehe that thing is from sweden!:D

[Junttidiskokunkku]

and very well made copy from sten and mp40

[h4tefury85]

its still in service by the navy i think.
