@HappyandAtheist - True. But bazookas can fire missiles that can fly longer, and is guided by computer. Most of the time, the range does not matter, as with bazooka, You can hide quite well, until the target comes near You, or You can reach the target in secret. Then again, there is bazooka like recileless guns, that weight much lesser than this. Still, long barrell without any recoil, is very good in aeroplanes, and some used the same method.

I happened to shoot few of these recoilless rifles; A carl gustaf M2 and M67. Regardless of its name, shooting one really shock your entire body and there's actually a limit on how much a person can shoot them per day before one developed concussion, internal bleeding (usually nose bleed but it can cause stroke) and permanent loss of hearing

We had them in the Irish Army, alongside the Gustav 84mm and the Gustav 9mm submachine gun you can see in the film. We gave them, the 90s, to Estonia a few years ago.
Did we not keep any? ATGM's are too expensive against MG nests or Tacticals with HMG's, this sort of weapon firing modern ammo out to 1K would be a perfect weapon for light Infantry.
Also Sweden gave their 90 mm to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Most of the equipment for a brigade (of Swedish model 1977) to each of those countries was given.
In indo pakistan war 1971 indian army destroyed whole pakistani tank regiment with this type of a "SINGLE" jeep mounted gun so its damn "EFFECTIVE". This war is also known as battle of longewala. There's only 120 soldiers of india against 3000 soldiers of pakistan with a full tank regiment and 500 armoured and transport vehicles. But still indian soldiers fought with pak and won the battle. This storyis also on wikipidia with images.
I'm assuming they would have deployed this weapon in multiple teams...as an ambush weapon, it has merit, but against Soviet-style formations, it's not the *one* tank you have to worry about, but his 6~8 buddies with him. Not too mention the dedicated artillery support (at regiment strength or better) the attack formation has tasked to it.... I don't even want to imagine dragging that weapon thru an artillery-shattered landscape. Cheap and easy to train with, 'cause I doubt the weapon's crew has a decent long-term survival rate...
Most of the Swedish equipment (I've seen) seems well thought out and well designed. Everything they build seems aimed at armies with limited budgets with low cost after purchase. Oddly enough Sweden doesn't stand out as a big arms exporter to the world. Even Canada sells more weapons than Sweden these days.
The ironic thing is Sweden, aside from UN missions, hasn't seen warfare since the Napoleonic Wars. They were neutral during both World Wars. Yet they do sell weapons.
@@schizoidboy Incorrect. though most politicians don't want to talk about it, we fougth with NATO in Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya and Afghanistan as co-combatants. But the "no wars for 200 years" is a good sound bite.
As a new housewife in this modern age, be the envy of your social circle by employing this recoilless rifle in the comfort of your own home. Husbands love wives whom take an interest in defending their livings space against armored attack..
I have long been a fan of the request rifle concept but there are certain issues with it they're not brought up in this video for instance the way to Shell tends tends to be quite high due to the doubling of propellant charge. US Army is now using the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle for direct fire support.
~1:26-1:33 : You've got to wonder straightaway if the poor chap loading the shells was invalided out after the film was made owing to partial or complete hearing loss. They made 1600 of these beasts, and from what I can find out, not a one ever saw a shot fired in anger. Thank goodness for the troops, but I still feel pity for the training crews.
After diligent "research," our Weapon Analysis section has discovered s small placard which was designed as a "tear out" in a disused copy of the training documents. It was evidently intended for use via hanging it around the barrel of the weapon before firing. A rough transliteration runs as follows: Snälla Mister. Tank, kom och skjut mig! Jag vill förvandlas till imitation lingonberry sylt! Or, in more colloquial parlance: Please Mister Tank, come and shoot me! I want to turn into imitation lingonberry jam!
The US army used to have a 90mm recoilless rifle in the inventory that used a similar shell and was shoulder fired, or could be fired off a built in tripod arrangement. I shot one several times when I was a young combat engineer, but other units had them as well. It didn't have the spotting rifle bit had instead a subcaliber "shell" insert that used 7.62mm NATO cartriges. Also had HEDP and HESH anti armor shells and smoke. It was man portable and weighed about 30 pounds.
@@sonoffantm We had some smaller bore one at the outset of Korea that was tripod or shoulder-fired, but we went to a larger tripod-only weapon by mid-war.
Us armed forces still youse the 84mm Carlie G, that can be operated by 1 person but a 2 man crew can put 4 rounds out in a minute, i did as loader or shooter, 1989
See the "coffee dripper" on the back of it? It's the same principle that Carl Gustav uses (Charlie Gutsache). The Carl Gustav is much more affordable, can be carried, and a team of two is all it takes to operate.
Brilliant design, simple and easy to use and transport. Too bad its too simple. Seems like armies today want it all way to complicated. I wonder if they ever made a ammo trailer that could be pulled by soldiers? I want one for duck hunting :)
This could be made into a longrange bofors m4 , just replace most metal with plastic and a small computer , heck with the wheels you could even carry/ferry it over a river (marshes) by yourself. It came with a jeeplike 4 wheeldriven small truck.
I've never seen a recoiless rifle shot a brass round like that. . It has a 50 cal as a range finder? If infantry started to attack,just pull the lever an fire the ranging weapon at then,if you realy had too. I would assume the sight would be on target.? I want one....
In the real battlefield this artillery gun needs to be moved constantly after being fired, or mortars and return fire will be raining down on its position due to dust and smoke discharge.
The music throughout, ESPECIALLY in the very beginning reminds me of a Monty Python sketch! Maybe someone here knows, but, were these issued out during the Korean War? I remember that UN forces had VERY little anti tank capability at the start of that conflict. This seems to be a good option in that regard.
The US Army used a similar weapon in 105 mm calibre at that time. Sweden was a big manufactor of ammunition for the 84 mm, 90 mm and 105 mm recoilles rifle.
Dear Mr Narrator, it is not PLARSTIC, no “R” it’s pronounced PLAS-TIC. Either he was doing a bad impression of minor noble from the United Kingdom, or was a minor noble from the United Kingdom. Sweden might be a small, peace loving nation, but they did/do have a knack making some fine weapons, aircraft, and naval craft, they used to make some great cars as well, but nowadays the aircraft market pays better. A friend of mine who I was serving with in the United Kingdom military was unable to go with us whenever we detached to Sweden, otherwise he wouldn’t of come back with us, he was a dual National with Sweden and had been called up for national service, and even though he was already serving within the United Kingdom military they considered him as still having to do his NS, even though he couldn’t speak a word of Swedish, hated the cold with a passion and was allergic to any form of seafood/fish, go figure the mentality of some pencil pushing bureaucrat!!!!.

I am so amazed that they brought a band out to the field to keep the soldiers company while they fight! Such nice music for them.
