rangers with carl gustav

1st battalion rangers with the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle in about 1999. An amazingly accurate weapon. Fort Stewart. These are rangers practicing marksmanship not speed drills. What you see is not how we would do it in combat. The gunner is taking his time and the assistant gunner steps back to avoid the damage that can occur to the body when near the weapon for too many rounds per day. The CG is so loud it feels like you have been punched in your soul. The rounds fired in this vid are; HEAT, HE, smoke, and TP.

@jasonness: this is DiDo. I came across this video again. I noticed some posts about me (11 months ago). I don't have facebook or any social accounts, nor have I stayed in touch with anyone (for no reason at all, just anti-social). I had to create this account today to post this. I miss the old days a lot. I have watched this video a few times to reminisce and read the comments for a laugh. I left the section in '03; still the best time of my life, even the 30 mile road marches. Who's KeyserS ?

[jaysonness]

@138dido Wow hi Mike. I don't know who KeyserS is. Jones sent me a good message on youtube private mail. I still have a photo of you unconscious and wrapped in duct tape for your own safety if you want me to email it to you..

@jaysonness What is the difference between 441B and D?

[jaysonness]

@ryeable I have not heard of 441D. Maybe we didn't use them in the USA.

[ryeable]

@jaysonness Is it dial adjusted in 10m increments or 50?

[jaysonness]

@ryeable labeled in 100 m increments but tic-marks at 10 m increments, if I remember correctly. The last time I held one was 10 years ago.

A nice piece of Swedish handcraft!

Swedes make excellent weapons and Marabo-chocolate. And the swedish blondes are sweet....

@LuciusCorneliusMacro  ^-^ hihi! *♥*

[LuciusCorneliusMacro]

Haha by reading the title it would not be hard to think that the video is about Rangers being with the Swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf ^^

@SuperFaner Ak 5 has more in common with the Galil and the R4(?)(South african Galil clone) then the M16. If you didn´t fire the Ak 5 it has the kick of a air gun... :)

[swertinge07]

@SuperFaner I have fired the M16, but never cleaned it. I really liked the Ak 5s ease of maintenance an that tehre is no plastic were it counts. :P

[swertinge07]

@SuperFaner I lööööved the Ak 5.
