Oversized round for Carl Gustaf
Attached photo shows a round called ffv 597 developed by ffv (now bofors)
I think the round was ready for production in the late 80:s .
The penetration was approx 900mm .
I know there were tests in some countries but as far as i know it was never adopted anywhere. Is there anybody that knows more about this extreme round?

Can't help you with the information on this one rottenfuhrer but that's a very impressive round, never seen one of them before. Thanks for showing it.
