Waycool Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi a quick question regarding the Carl Gustav weapon will many different ammo types be modeled? Also various Carl G rounds do have capability for up to 1200m are these ranges available. Varied optics what is standard config 3x? or specialized? http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m3-maws.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 One of our 'military' Beta guys gave a hearty chuckle trying to imagine a 1,200m range Carl Gustav. Imagine the accuracy of a U.S. AT4 LAW (throw-away Carl Gustav) fired out to 1,200m! How would that work, you fire at a 45 degree angle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Dunno I think they are referring to HE type rounds on the Anti armor think they said 500m on stationary armor. Enhanced optics are available from what I read. FFV441 is an HE round, useful in a "lobbed" trajectory to 1,000m, which can be fused to either detonate on impact or as an airburst. FFV502 is an HEDP round with the ability to be set to detonate either on impact or one-tenth of a second afterwards. Effective range is 1,000 m against dispersed soft targets such as infantry in the open, 500 m against stationary targets, and 300 m against moving targets. Minimum range is 15 to 40 m to arm the warhead. Penetration exceeds 150 mm of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA). Ammunition weight is 3.3 kg and muzzle velocity is 230 m/s.[4] The wiki article has some info on various rounds and such. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustav_recoilless_rifle Was curious as we have varied rounds on the SMAW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm curious as to whether anyone actually uses some of the more exotic rounds widely enough for us to worry about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 From what the Canadian forces site says they note the HEAT and HEDP rounds as being used with 3x optics. Not sure on how varied distro is on other rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webwing Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Was curious as we have varied rounds on the SMAW. I need to check but I think there are at least 3 different rounds modeled. I don´t see why we can´t have different rounds for the AT weapons in NATO also. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Varied rounds with RPG-7 too, of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
