The Carl Gustav is the common name for the 84mm recoilless rifle anti-tank weapon from the Saab Bofors Anti Armour AB in Sweden. The Carl Gustav was first introduced in 1948, and while similar weapons of the era have generally disappeared, the Carl Gustav remains in widespread use today, and is even being introduced into new roles. Classroom instruction includes history and technology of recoilless systems, and a detailed description of how the system works. Proper methods of firing the Carl Gustav are taught. Many precautions and a lot of team work are involved. Students are taken through a complete tear down of the system and reassembly, and will understand the fire control system and the many different types of ammunition available.  -Government Only-
