What weapon is this?
« Reply #15 on: March 18, 2003, 11:03:56 AM »
You are very wrong on the armor penetration for the CG 84mm though. When I was in the army (infantry squad leader) we were told never to use the CG on MBT's, maybe maybe if we had good flank shots, but it was generally a bad idea. Instead the CG was used to take out APCs and fortified locations, and the AT-4s were to take out the MBTs.

Yup..the AT-4 has better armor penetration than CG. At least back in 93. I know there are new ammo out for the CG, but then again, the AT-4 has an improved version too that is said to take out any east block tank from the front.

Ya its a SMAW(b300)
They gave the army 500 of them apperenlty.
Very good for street fighting as you can carry way more ammo for it and the after penetration effect of the anti bunker round very good.

The marines adopted an Isreali weapon many years ago called the B300 I believe.  It is primarily an anti fortification weapon that uses seperate ammo like that thing looks like it must. Thats all I could guess. The AT4 on the left is not related I think.

US should never have given up on Recoiless rifles. The 84mm Carl Gustav was about the best infantry heavy weapon ever made.



Light infantry and Ranger units still use 90mm recoiless, I think.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

I had worked with rangers and thier 90mm in the late 80s. I think its like the SMAW. Not a normal issue weapon but used for specific situations. They will likely break them out for bagdad.

Man, that Dragon was a POS. It was painfully uncomfortable just to get it in a firing position. I thought they got rid of all those finally.
