Default Re: Recoilless Rifles

OK, I didn't know RBS-69 = Redeye = FIM-53

I just knew the Swedish army used to have Redeyes...
But right enough the designations in Scandinavian countries can get quite cryptic, and since they generally buy half of their stuff, then upgrade half of it to the point it is not recognizable, and the other half is domestic design never, ever to be exported...

Anyway, still easier than in China or Japan ...

On the other matter here, has anyone ayn explanation about this Carl Gustav range thing?

Over quite all the oobs it seems to be range=9 and HEAT pen=50 for M3 and 40 for M2, except in the UK where it only penetrates 42cm at 4 hexes...
