Excellent! were can i get one?

 

[rottenfuhrer]

Sorry. I think they are out of stock

here is another one

 

[Falcon]

Are all these rounds based on the low pressure principle? IE large case with small powder charge?

 

[rottenfuhrer]

These rounds are for the antitank weapon carl gustaf and it is a backblastweapon .The charge is filling the whole case.
Here in sweden you are only allowed to shoot 6 rds/24 hr because of the pressure risk to harm your body

Those are absolutely beautifull cutatway models. I would love to add them to my collection:tinysmile_tongue_t:
What is the penetration of the HEAT projectile?

Most modern HEAT rounds for Carl-Gustaf feature either single or a tandem shaped-charge warhead, and a rocket booster for increased range, and can penetrate up to 500 mm of armor behind the ERA protection.

I got to fire an 84mm during my last exercise in the Army. When it went off, the backblast that the firer experienced was like someone slapping you full in the face with an opened-up wet towel.

The recommended limit in the U.S. is lower still: 3 rounds max, though there are resports of troops exceeding that number and experiencing internal aches, likely injuries, blood in urine, etc. I believe the propellant is know as AGB-204? Anyone have a photo of it?

I located a photo of the Indian-made equivalent propellant known as NGB-204 at this link:
