Norwegian Soldiers Fire Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifles As Fast As Possible
Published 3 years ago
Video shows a training range in which Norwegian troops execute a mass expenditure of anti tank rounds out of the M48 Carl-Gustaf 84mm recoilless rifle. The speed at which the rounds are being shot is not just for the soldiers' personal excitement. The soldiers are communicating and working as a team to become proficient in their weapon systems, which translates to lethality in a real world scenario.
The Gustaf, as most American troops call it, is in service in dozens of armies across the globe. It also has multiple different warhead options for different circumstances, ranging from high explosive anti tank rounds, anti structure munitions, area defense-anti personnel warheads, and even smoke rounds.
