- The U.S. Army Is Testing New Weapon A Super 'Bazooka'
Bazooka is the common name for a man-portable recoilless anti-tank rocket launcher weapon, widely deployed by the United States Army, especially during World War II. Also referred to as the "Stovepipe", the innovative bazooka was among the first generation of rocket-propelled anti-tank weapons used in infantry combat. Featuring a solid-propellant rocket for propulsion, it allowed for high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads to be delivered against armored vehicles, machine gun nests, and fortified bunkers at ranges beyond that of a standard thrown grenade or mine. The universally-applied nickname arose from the M1 variant's vague resemblance to the musical instrument called a "bazooka" invented and popularized by 1930s U.S. comedian Bob Burns.
During World War II, German armed forces captured several bazookas in early North Africa and Eastern Front encounters and soon reverse engineered their own version,increasing the warhead diameter to 8.8 cm (among other minor changes) and widely issuing it as the Raketenpanzerbüchse "Panzerschreck" (Tank scare). Near the end of the war, the Japanese developed a similar weapon, the Type 4 70 mm AT Rocket Launcher, which featured a rocket propelled grenade of a different design.
The term "bazooka" still sees informal use as a generic term referring to any ground-to-ground shoulder-fired missile weapon (mainly rocket propelled grenade launchers or recoilless rifles), and as an expression that "heavy measures" are being taken.

In the eighties the Rangers had them and the Berlin Brigade and one or two other units had the 90mm recoiless rifles. I had heard they had also taken the 90mm off mothalls for Afghanistan use also. The Carl Gustav is lighter and more compact then the 90mm so it makes it easier to carry.
The K-G is a more versatile weapons system than the Bazooka, especially it's ammo....
I felt the law was a waste of money. Fire once then throw a weapon away . So the enemy can use as a IED. Wrong
Hope there is many of these on the way to help the Ukraine fighters.
The bazooka was just as good. You dont have it just to destroy tanks. It can be used for bunker busters. Just like the RPGS
Damn nice bazooka 👍👍👍
This must be used in Ukraine.
bazinga bazooka Bart just had to comment...smfh
The bazooka was never a Recoilless Rifle....
A bazooka is a man portable rocket launcher....
The Karl Gustav is a Rec Rifle, the difference between a Rec Rifle fires a shell instead of launching a rocket....
Once fired, and the round leaves the tube, the projectile is no longer under power....
Unlike a rocket that remains under power down range in flight....
Dated, incorrect and misleading. You do a disservice to the venerable CG.
Ruotsalaista laatuako?
Karl Gustav
It was over due for our war fighters to get it.
WHY NOT TRY THIS IN UKRAINE.
According to the Ukrainian Home Guard, they destroyed a Russian T-90M tank with the Carl-Gustav
It is in Ukraine. A lot of them
The original bazooka was a rocket launcher. The Carl Gustav is a recoilless rifle - a gun, not a rocket launcher. The majority of its ammunition is not rocket assisted. ALL its ammunition is recoilless cartridge type. Get your "facts" right!
There are so many of those "authoritative" videos where the creators reveal they don't actually know what they are talking about. It's disgusting. It is not a service to misinform viewers. Rather, it is damaging to let people believe they have learned something when that "something" isn't true.
Flood this thing in Ukraine
