M3 Carl Gustaf 84mm Recoilless Rifle
The M3 Carl Gustav is an 84mm man-portable, multi-role, parachute jumpable, recoilless rifle. The Carl Gustaf can be used from the standing, kneeling, sitting or prone positions and a bipod may be attached in front of the shoulder piece. The basic model consists of the main tube with the breech-mounted Venturi recoil damper, with two grips near the front and a shoulder mount. The weapon is fitted with iron sights, but is normally aimed with the attached 3x optical sight with a 17 degree (300 mil) field of view. The M3 is normally operated by a two-man crew(gunner and loader), but may be used by a single operator at a reduced rate of fire.

First combat loss of a Russian T-90M tank by a Swedish delivered Carl Gustaf 8.4cm recoilless rifle
- it actually appears that it was destroyed by a UA-operated tank
- seems that HE-FRAG ammo was used against the poorly-protected rear, penetrating & destroying the tank
- in Staryi Saltiv
- the Kharkiv 227th Battalion
Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle is officially known as the "M3 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System" (MAAWS) or "Ranger Anti-tank Weapons System" (RAWS), but is often just called "Gustaf". In November 2011, the U.S. Army began ordering the M3 MAAWS for regular units deployed in Afghanistan.

Meet the Lethal Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle
Meet the Lethal Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle.
The Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifle is an 84-mm man-portable reusable anti-tank weapon originally produced by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori (that later was merged into Saab Bofors Dynamics) in Sweden. Developed in 1946, it was one of the many recoilless rifle designs of that era. Dubbed the Multi-Role Anti-Armor/Anti-Personnel Weapon System, this thing is handy. It has an effective range of 1,300 meters with a high-explosive round. The 84mm Gustaf costs $20,000 each. Weighing around 15 pounds at nearly three feet long, the Gustaf can eventually fire rocket-boosted laser-guided munitions too. The models that are made of titanium are even lighter and more portable.

Carl Gustav m/42: A 20mm Recoilless Antitank Rifle
The Swedish Pansarvärnsgevär fm/42 made by the Carl Gustav company was an interesting early hybrid antitank weapon - a recoilless rifle firing solid armor-piercing projectiles. It used a 20x180mm case, propelling the 108g (1650gr) bullet at 950 m/s (3150 fps). This was capable of perforating 40mm of perpendicular armor plate at 100m (a high explosive projectile was also made). This was on the high end of armor penetration for anti-tank rifles, and the m/42 was able to do this with a weapon weighing just 11.7kg (25 lb) - less than a quarter of a comparable 20mm conventional rifle.
This was possible because of its recoilless design - upon firing, the rear end of the cartridge case would blow out and vent out the back of the weapon, instead of being firmly sealed like a conventional rifle. T...

Although most rounds fired by the Carl Gustaf work on the classic recoilless principle, modern rounds sometimes add a post-firing booster that technically make it a rocket launcher.
The first prototype of the Carl Gustaf was produced in 1946 as a lightweight anti-armor weapon, one of many similar designs of that era. While similar weapons have generally disappeared from service, the Carl Gustaf remains in widespread use today. A combination of light weight, low cost and widely varied ammunition types, makes the Carl Gustaf extremely flexible and able to be used in a wide variety of roles where single-purpose weapons like the M72 LAW passed out of service as newer tank designs rendered them ineffective.
In its country of origin, it is officially named Grg m/48 (Granatgevär – "grenade rifle", model 1948). British troops refer to it as the "Charlie G", while Canadian troops often refer to it as "Carl G". In U.S. military service, it is known as the "M3 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System" (MAAWS) or "Ranger Anti-tank Weapons System" (RAWS), but is often called the Gustaf[citation needed] or "the Goose" or simply the "Carl Johnson"[citation needed] by American servicemembers. In Australia, it is irreverently known as "Charlie Gutsache" (guts ache, slang for stomach pain).

The Carl is an 84 mm rocket system and some of the new rocket munitions utilizes a two stage booster which first fires a small boost of propellant which isn’t powerful enough to hurt a user who fires it indoors. This is what gives it that greater accuracy to its target. The maximum effective distance will vary here depending on a few factors.
#futureweapons #military #army
When you look at the Carl Gustaf at first glance the first impression the first thing you see is it looks more unwieldy than the AT4 and the old LAW which are two of the other popular US Military rocket launcher.Here’s the really exciting part. Today’s rocket launcher use an optic which can store up to 50 different ballistic algorithms. It automatically compensates for the ballistic drop of projectiles at different differences. It factors in variables like rotational spin and drift, propellant temperature and terrain angle.
You have to make sure you look behind you and yell “back blast area clear” to be safe!

U.S. paratroopers fire the M3 Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle during a 'Train the Trainer' qualification range at Fort Bragg.
The Carl Gustaf Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System (MAAWS), aka Carl Gustav or Gustaf Bazooka or M2CG, is an 84 mm, shoulder fired, man-portable, parachute jumpable, reusable anti-tank recoilless rifle produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics in Sweden. Although most rounds fired by the Carl Gustaf work on the classic recoilless principle, modern rounds sometimes add a post-firing booster that technically make it a rocket launcher. The Carl Gustaf can be fired from the standing, kneeling, sitting or prone positions.
The basic weapon consists of the main tube with the breech-mounted Venturi recoil damper, with two grips near the front and a shoulder mount. The weapon is fitted with iron sights, but is normally aimed with the attached 3× optical sight with a 17 degree field of view. Luminous front and rear sight inserts are available for the iron sights when aiming at night, and an image intensification system may also be used.
The weapon is normally operated by a two-man crew, one carrying and firing the weapon, the other carrying ammunition and reloading. (learn more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_recoilless_rifle)

The Swedish Pansarvärnsgevär fm/42 made by the Carl Gustav company was an interesting early hybrid antitank weapon - a recoilless rifle firing solid armor-piercing projectiles. It used a 20x180mm case, propelling the 108g (1650gr) bullet at 950 m/s (3150 fps). This was capable of perforating 40mm of perpendicular armor plate at 100m (a high explosive projectile was also made). This was on the high end of armor penetration for anti-tank rifles, and the m/42 was able to do this with a weapon weighing just 11.7kg (25 lb) - less than a quarter of a comparable 20mm conventional rifle.
This was possible because of its recoilless design - upon firing, the rear end of the cartridge case would blow out and vent out the back of the weapon, instead of being firmly sealed like a conventional rifle. This created a counter balancing recoil impulse which prevented the gun and shooter from having to absorb the full recoil energy produced by a heavy bullet launching off at high velocity. The tradeoff was that much of the potential energy of firing was wasted venting out the back instead of pushing the bullet forward, which is why the cartridge case was so oversized.
About a thousand of the guns were made by the end of World War 2, at which time even it had been made quite thoroughly obsolete by the rapidly increasing thickness of tank armor. It would, however, be the stepping-stone to the m/48 Carl Gustav 84mm recoilless rifle, which used a shaped charge warhead to perforate armor with a stream of molten melt instead of relying on velocity of a hardened projectile.

About a thousand of the guns were made by the end of World War 2, at which time even it had been made quite thoroughly obsolete by the rapidly increasing thickness of tank armor. It would, however, be the stepping-stone to the m/48 Carl Gustav 84mm recoilless rifle, which used a shaped charge warhead to perforate armor with a stream of molten melt instead of relying on velocity of a hardened projectile.
