- The Carl Gustaf is an 84 mm man-portable reusable anti-tank recoilless rifle produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics (formerly Bofors Anti-Armour AB) 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 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.

"Carl gustaf, the Swedish made Recoilless AT rifle"
US defense news: BaZoOkA
I used an earlier version of this weapon in the Swedish army. I remember it was important to have your mouth open while firing to save your ears from the immediate pressure of the blast.
Can you apply this to other 'explosive' situations, too?
I had my mouth closed one time but one time only, result was a noosebleed.
BEAUTIFUL ! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL ! !
I used this in the Canadian Army since the 1980's. I love the fact that the Yanks are falling in love with it.
Yep loved shooting that beast in the Canadian military
Nah we like our expensive javelins yk how merica is
@@ahhhyesavideoofculture1540 he is from canada not america ☠️
British Royal Marines nearly sunk an Argentinian corvette with one of these in the 1982 Falklands war.
@Grendel Hex I shot this several times in the British Territorial army.We also had a sub calibre insert so we could fire .22 rounds in indoor ranges.Great to shoot bute pig to lug around.
“Back blast area clear?”
“Well, not really but what the hell? Back blast area clear!”
I was in the military in Norway in 86, I fired this a few times and boy it was a shock to the system. I would rather avoid it generally as I think it might even be dangerous to use regularly.... It`s immensely powerful and a huge asset to any military.
"Klart bakåt!"
"Skott kommer!"
*Tryckvåg*
Vi hade flera skottövningar med detta vapen ute på Ringenäs tror jag det var...korkade seglare etc kom in i skottområdet trots varningar...min löjtnant bara suckade o sa på min tid när det hände så sköt vi bara ett ballast skott några meter från båten och dom vände illa kvickt...tyvärr tillåter inte lagarna det idagXD
With the new intellegent ammunition.this thing is all you need as a soldier.
I fired ten shots with the 7.62mm adaptor and thought i had it down to pat, then I fired the first 84mm round of the day (a blue inert) when it went off I thought it had blown up!
put half-dozen in each platoon, good firepower good range.
so crazy
I've been firing the "LRAC F1 89 mm" a couple of times while serving in the French army, and remember vividly the shockwave of that thing being like running like crazy and head first into a wall , literally .. with the reflex of always touching your nose afterwards to see if it's bleeding ..
Most crazy off all, 90% off the shots in this video is training ammo, from 9mm to 20mm. The real shit is when you fire Carl Gustav Smoke 84mm.
These things are just plain old FUN to use
Nothing says power like training rounds.
watched entire vid... they failed to blow anything up
It's a handheld 84mm recoilless rifle, not a 'bazooka'
Wow, they're really reduced the muzzle flash and smoke from those things.
They fire mostly practice rounds. Smoke grenades are the best, the backblast sucks the air right out of the lungs of the loader! Love it!
I've constructed mounting brackets for these in the swedish version of BvS 10
Klart bakåt! It sounds a bit better in swedish then saying "Back blast area Clear"
You know that they have been making the M 4 variant since 2014?
Isn't bazooka a rocket launcher?
Yeah, the poster got it wrong. Completely different system.
Did not know their was a new variant of the Carl Gustav 88 mm.
Used the old one in the Australian Army years ago, but just thought we moved on to the Javelin etc..
Don't know if it can penetrate more than the old one. and wondering what type of scale of Armour it can be used against ?
All versions use the same ammo, difference is materials and length (lower weight in the new ones) and sights.
Newest tandem HEAT-charges blast through most ERA-protected surfaces save turret front an upper glacis of the modern MBTs
wow, amazing the Power of the Carl Gustaf M3 Bazooka
Yes it is....i try the old and new CG in the swedish military....84mm..the best of all weapons I tried...that power....
You can carry all the ammo
It's not a Bazooka! It's a recoilless rifle.
Butter smooth
I remember someone telling me that this was a soft launch system. Good way to obliterate anything behind you
I LOVE IT A LOT ! ! !
I wish i can own one
That .50 needs to be replaced too ! 1920s design is no longer effective against PT 76 or BMDs . 13.7 that is lighter might go threw a Hind ?
got burnt legs when i fired for the first time; luckily did the stalk through a river first ....lol
This would be awesome for home defense.
@Russell you wouldn’t have a home left after firing it, Russell 🙄
How heavy is it?
Not a soldier or munitions expert; does one have to have strong cardiac health to fire one of those, because of explosion concussion ?
When I go to indoor firing range, and someone near me fires a shotgun I can feel it in my chest.
Concussion is there, feels like being smacked in the face but nothing extraordinary, as added bonus first shot clears airways nice and proper.
Still technically a rifle type gun I'm sure, you see the rifling inside the guns barrel?
I heard a little Stephanie in there too
The Swedish way: Always check the tube, even if you just yourself pulled the shell yourself. 😅
You know, I've recently noticed a phenomenon of people who write titles for videos actually suck at it. This video showed me the power of the weapon to create a dust cloud, nothing more. Where's the destruction?
I hate lusting over things i can't have ;-;
Send some of these to Ukraine!
Dude, it is recoilless rifle... Was trained to operate it over 30 years ago. Bit of history for you yanks. When SF saw them in action in the Middle East by the Brit's. They liked it so much... It was procured for their inventory.
I too trained on this back in 91 I have a love-hate memory with this overall it's a basic but proven gun with a now wide variety of munitions it also has a few simple parts easy to disassemble and clean. But today this weapon you cannot kill modern main battle tanks with it no way it's mostly against softer targets like troop carriers maybe an apc mostly firesupport to cover advancing infantry troops on an objective the main problem I hated was it's a difficult weapon to carry you can only shoulder or sling it and I tried every combination. Short distance anybody can do it but if you forced march with this in full combat load for 10 klicks or walk for hours it's a killer ache on the shoulder I always request the GPMG sling which has a wider shoulder pad which is slightly more comfortable and with mg sling twisting bipod upwards then locking with your elbow also makes it easier to move otherwise annoying the bipod always hitting your thigh if you have to walk for hours. I seen some other armies we trained with they have unimog vehicles for their gun crews - so lucky man.
Funny that. I had the same training in it's use against soft skinned targets... The TI's said they were not much use against hard arnour even then... Also made for a mean bunker buster. As for carry. Over the shoulder, and 3 rounds in a plastic case in the other. The loader carried spare...
I think every gun crew is about the same, 2 man gun crew maximum upto 5 rounds unless you have a dedicated light vehicle maybe more, back then ours was 4-5 round we trained on M1 gun, 4 round in plastic canisters manpacked by 2nd gunner 1 extra round is chambered into the gun with safeties on of course peacetime we used dummy rounds but you can imagine on the M1 19.1 + 2.5 is damn heavy excluding other gun accessories and personal rifleman load ... about 50kg in total, I read the yanks are now using M3 gun which is 6.9kg that's so lucky and crazy good.
@@giamcai9381 what do you think about the carl gustav m4?
84mm
Boy that want to put a spin on things. Won't it
Fired it in 1975, serving with British army, gave me a nose bleed, I declined any further involvement with the thing.. Always some other keen young Hero wanting to fire it..!!
so that's what it looks like. so that's how it works!
First version was depl. in 1948! (in Sweden back when Sweden was Swedish).
Very vercetile system with a wide array of ammo: smoke, HEAT, AP, timed area burst, lumination, delayed detonation, etc.
Extreamly cost effective since it can "replace" or act as artillery support or even air support.
Sweden is still Swedish you melt
We on Monday
still it has got ample recoile
Actually you can load individual rockets in the front and there wasn’t a single rocket jump in this video I’m very disappointed
the shockwaves on these things are too strong...this could cause internal brain injuries on prolonged use.
I understand the Army limits soldiers to 5 rounds a day for that very reason.
Vith real amunition its better not be the loader!! When shooting u prepared for the impact!
The shockwaves of the 9cm antitankweapon we used is mutch harder!! Its similar to Carl Gustav but about 12 feet long and mounted on a vehicle
czcams.com/video/Ygo5U9pwDjg/video.html
Both Carl Gustav and 90mm
They are shooting blank rounds?
They are what's called sub cal rounds yes it's a training round they have a rifle barrel inside the that fires a 308 Bullet but the realy big booms are the real thing
The blue ones are training rouds, they have the rocket but no warhead.
A goos bunker or IFV buster
Crud!!!!! How many times must it be said that a CG M2 or M4 IS NOT A BAZOOKA !?
What is „crazy“ about this video??
Compro 40.000 unidades para o exército brasileiro
This video does NOT show the power of a CG M3.
How come the instructors aren't in uniform?
Chris Coombes more than likely civilian or special ops
Why are the instructors in civilian clothes?
😸🚬. 2. USA. 465. Very convenient
You need to go and learn how to use it like the swedish army uses it, this is just painful to watch.
Yes, ja jäkligt ont. Klart bakåt! :)
@@JOBT0 Skott kommer!
Fullbumpa!
👌 👈
First!
Clickbait. No hits.
Only real if used by merca.
martK banjoboy only real if used by försvarsmakten
Soon a TrumpTariff on these. National security reasons. They are very dangerous...
They are not allowed to put tariff on stuff they only make licensed for themselves.. US doesn't own this weapon system.
They are really not the best marksmen, neither drilled in loading / reloading. Hope it's due to lack of training.
Hard to watch. Yikes.
That was useless
Repent the sins of American army.
