HISTORY

SWEDISH ARMS DESIGNERS BEGAN TO EXPERIMENT WITHRECOILLESS ANTITANK RIFLES IN EARLY 4*S. THEIR FIRSTDESIGN A SHOULDER-FIRED SINGLE SHOT WEAPON FIRED A%*MMSOLID PROJECTILE FROM A RIFLED BARREL. THIS DESIGN HAS BEEN

ADOPTED BY SWEDISH ARMY IN 4% AS THE M"4% BUT ITS SMALL-CALIBER SOLID PROJECTILE WAS HARDLY EFFECTI#E AGAINST THENEW TANKS WHICH EMERGED DURING THE SECOND WORLDWAR.BY THE MID-4*S SWEDISH DESIGNERS ADOPTED THE IDEA OFTHE SHAPED-CHARGE HEAT AMMUNITION AND BY THE 4+PRODUCED THEIR FIRST PROTOTYPE OF THE LARGE-CALIBER

RECOILLESS RIFLE WHICH FIRED HEAT GRENADES. THIS SINGLE-SHOTSHOULDER FIRED WEAPON QUICKLY E#OL#ED INTO THE,GRANATGE#R 8.4CM M"48CARL-GUSTAF, OR ,GRENADE RIFLECALIBER 84MM MODEL OF 48,.THIS SIMPLE AND EFFECTI#EWEAPON ATTRACTED SIGNIFICANT INTEREST AND HAS BEENADOPTED BY A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF MILITARY FORCES AROUNDTHE WORLD.

HISTORY (CONTINUED)

OTHER THAN SWEDEN CARL GUSTAF RECOILLESSRIFLES WERE ADOPTED BY AUSTRALIA AUSTRIA

BELGIUM CANADA GERMANY USA AND SE#ERALOTHER COUNTRIES. INITIAL PRODUCTION WAS BYTHE FF# FACTORIES LATTER TRANSFERRED TOTHE SAAB-BOFORS DYNAMICS AB WHICH IS THECURRENT MANUFACTURER OF BOTH M$ RIFLE

AND 84MM AMMUNITION. THE AMMUNITIONALSOIS MANUFACTURED IN SE#ERAL COUNTRIESWHICH USE THE CARL-GUSTAFLAUNCHERSINCLUDING THE BELGIUM AND

INDIA.

HISTORY (CONTINUED)

WHILE THE CARL-GUSTAF RECOILLESS RIFLE "

LAUNCHER WAS INITIALLY DE#ISED AS AN ANTITANKWEAPON ITS TACTICAL ROLE WAS QUICKLY EXPANDEDWITH ADOPTION OF #ARIOUS OTHER TYPES OFAMMUNITION SUCH AS HIGH-EXPLOSI#EFRAGMENTATION ROUNDS CLOSE-DEFENSE SHRAPNEL-

TYPE ROUNDS SMOKE ILLUMINATION AND SE#ERALOTHER TYPES OF WARHEADS.IN FACT THE CARL-GUSTAF SERIES RECOILLESS RIFLES " LAUNCHERS AREAMONG THE MOST #ERSATILE WEAPONS OF THE ,ONE

MAN ARTILLERY, TYPE EXTREMELY POPULAR ANDWIDELY USED. THEIR ONLY DRAWBACK IS THE BULKAND WEIGHT OF THE LAUNCHER ITSELF WHICH ISSIGNIFICANTLY HEA#IER THAN ITS MAJOR RI#AL THE#ENERABLE RPG- ANTITANK GRENADE LAUNCHER.

DESCRIPTION -SHOULDER-FIRED AIR JUMPABLE AND SWIMMABLE84MM RECOILLESS RIFLE SYSTEM. SINGLE SHOT BREECH LOADING

WEAPONS WITH RIFLED BARRELS. UNITARY AMMUNITION OF 84MMCALIBER IS LOADED INTO ALUMINUM CASES WITH OPEN BOTTOMSCLOSED BY PLASTIC PRESSURE DISCS. THE PRIMERS ARE LOCATED ATTHE SIDE OF THE CARTRIDGE CASE SO THE ROUND MUST BE PROPERLYALIGNED IN THE BORE UPON THE LOADING. TO ACHIE#E THAT THECASE RIM HAS A SPECIAL INDEXING RECESS. MOST TYPES OF

PROJECTILES ARE JUST WARHEADS WHICH ARE ,BLOWN OUT, OF THEBARREL BY THE PROPELLANT CHARGE BUT SOME MOST RECENTLYDE#ELOPED TYPES OF AMMUNITION HAS BUILT-IN ROCKET BOOSTERSWHICH ARE IGNITED AS THE ROUND REACHES SAFE DISTANCE FROMTHE SHOOTER GREATLY IMPRO#ING THE MAXIMUM EFFECTI#E RANGE.THE REAR PART OF THE BARREL IS FITTED WITH #ENTURI NOLE

WHICH IS HINGED TO ALLOW LOADING OF THE AMMUNITION ANDEJECTION OF THE FIRED CASES OR UNFIRED ROUNDS.


12/25

THE M% (M"48) BARRELS ARE MADE FROM STEEL AND THE M$ (M"8+) BARRELSARE MADE FROM THIN STEEL LINERS ENCLOSED INTO POLYMER WRAPPING SOTHE M$ LAUNCHER IS SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER. THE FIRING UNIT CONSISTS OFTHE PISTOL GRIP WITH THE TRIGGER AND MANUAL SAFETY WHICH IS LINKEDTO THE IGNITION MODULE AT THE REAR OF THE WEAPON BY THE TUBELOCATED BELOW AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE BARREL. UNDER THE BARREL

THERE5S ALSO A SHOULDER REST AN ADJUSTABLE BIPOD AND A FRONTSUPPORT GRIP. THE CARL-GUSTAF RECOILLESS RIFLES " LAUNCHERS AREFITTED WITH FOLDING OPEN SIGHTS LOCATED AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THEBARREL BUT USUALLY ISSUED WITH TELESCOPE SIGHT OF %X OR $XMAGNIFICATION WHICH HAS RANGE-FINDING RETICULE AND CAN BEADJUSTED FOR TEMPERATURE AND WING CONDITIONS. STANDARD CREW FOR CARL-GUSTAF RECOILLESS RIFLE " LAUNCHER IS TWOMEN SHOOTER AND LOADER. AMMUNITION IS USUALLY CARRIED IN SPECIALPLASTIC CONTAINERS WHICH HOLD TWO TYPES OF AMMUNITION EACH. MOSTMODERN HEAT ROUNDS FOR CARL-GUSTAF FEATURE EITHER SINGLE OR ATANDEM SHAPED-CHARGE WARHEAD AND A ROCKET BOOSTER FORINCREASED RANGE AND CAN PENETRATE UP TO &** MM OF ARMOR.

AMMUNITION MUTLI-ROLE ANTI-STRUCTURE 84 MM MT &+

THE 84 MM MT &+ (MULTI TARGET) IS DESIGNED FOR COMBAT IN BUILT-UPAREAS AND FOR INCAPACITATING AN ENEMY UNDER CO#ER INSIDE A BUILDING ORSOME TYPE OF FORTIFICATION. WHEN USING AN MT &+ YOU DO NOT NEED TO

FIRE THE ROUND THROUGH A WINDOW OR A DOOR THE MT &+ MAKES ITS OWN HOLE IN THE WALL AND DETONATES BEHINDTHE WALL. THE MT &+ USES A TANDEM CHARGE.
