Fun fact: India is one of the oldest & largest user of Carl gustaf, inducted originally in late 70s. It is a section weapon in Indian Army (1 CG for every 10 infantry men) & also in use with all branches of Armed forcces, every paramilitary, central police forces & state reserve police, some special police units with CG M1/2/3 locally produced by former OFB factories including all of the ammunition & for CG M4, Saab is opening it’s own facility in India after Government is allowing 100% FDI for foreign defence companies.
And here’s my ignorant ass sat here thinking Carl Gustaf was the cameraman
Man definitely has a TBI after all that
>The overpressure, or blast wave, generated by the Gustaf will cause blast- and burn-related injuries to those behind the weapon, and is dangerous to 30 metres (100 ft)[13] and hazardous to about 50 to 75 metres (160 to 250 ft).[10] Repeatedly firing the Gustaf can also cause related shock wave injuries to gunners and those nearby.[16][17][18]
>Gunners are only allowed to fire six rounds a day during training.[19] The assistant gunners would also often move away from the overpressure zone, so that they too can fire six rounds a day.[19] Sweden, the first user of Carl-Gustaf, has the regulation that both gunner and assistant gunner are allowed to have 20 full caliber rounds each day.[20]
I wonder how many these guys are actually doing
WHAT YOU SAY??????
There’s a reason that relatively ancient weapon just won’t die; cheap, hard hitting man portable firepower. M4 variant is lighter than ever and with the timed rounds you can detonate into dead ground behind cover. Western militaries are still buying this weapon because it’s so versatile (even if it sucks to carry the weapon and ammo).
Lots of people think its an old weaponry but india did manage to Utilize it with their discipline and coordination to maxamize damage.
How hot are those empty shells? He seems to just grab it with bare hands.

I do think that if the opposition had one decent sniper they could really ruin this guy’s day.
Bro is using the Carl Gustaf like a direct fire Artillery piece. I love it. Fire, reload fast, fire.
