The US Army only recently adopted the confined space version of the AT4. This video was from 1992. I can't believe it took that damn long.

[@Jake-dh9qk]

The AT4 is anti tank. But US doctrine usually have tanks and tank hunters with guided missiles to take out enemy tanks. The only real threat the infantryman face while indoors is most likely trucks armed with a heavy machine gun. These can be taken out by grenade launchers which are much more portable. The last tank vs US infantryman engagement was probably the Vietnam war and since then the US armored and helicopters have done most of the job in taking out enemy tanks and armors before the infantry roll in.

[@LoffysDomain]

9:08 I've fired one of those (smoke). The firing detonation, albeit no recoil, is is significant _BANG_ ;-)

[@Ferndalien]

There was a Gustav operator's manual online somewhere, I seem to recall reading that Gustav gunners weren't supposed to fire more than 8 rounds in 24 hours. Which didn't make sense at first. Then I realized that there was probably a high risk of hearing loss and possibly risk, or concern there might be risk of brain injury from the air shockwave from the blast, that is, the BANG.

the munitions should be tested in 3 configuration 1- at the maximum firing range of the weapon system characteristic and the ammo used / with the target maximum thickness for the weapon and the round to penetration the armor 2 - medium ranges or most common engagements distances for the weapon system and the ammo with maximum armor thickness for the target ( same case 1) ... 3- the short ranges and close engagements with maximum armor thickness for the target ( same case 1 and 2 ) .. They can re-test weapons and ammunition against lightly armored targets or against soft targets ...etc in order to simulate of various combat engagements scenarios .. As for the personal weapons , there are no engagements in open battles from 100 m. These 100 M range are suitable for personal defense weapons ( PDW ) and even some pistols . The Swedish forests may help to set an ambush and allow to fight a battle from close distances, but most traditional motorized or mechanized infantry combat engagements remain within the effective range of the individual weapon 300 M .. but very impressive arsenal of weapon systems and munitions ..

[@oloflarsson1833]

No we did not sell any weapons to Germany during the war. We did however buy weapons from Germany. Being cut of from the outside world, the only natons that we could trade with was with Germany and Finland, and to a much lesser extent, we could also import oil from South America. Out trade with Germany was that we sold mainly iron ore and machine components, while we bouth coal, machines, weapons and so forth from Germany.

[@Melchersson]

The Norwegian resistance where really thankful for Sweden being neutral. The Swedish army supported the Norwegian resistance fighters with rifles and hand grenades etc. Swedish volunteers managed to hold Sälby in Trondheim county from the Germans so the Norwegian army and the French had time to get organized prev to the occupation!

[@Melchersson]

@Jack ripper What I cant understand is why Sweden is regarded as the number one puppet state of Nazi Germany and nobody talks about the bankers in Switzerland who helped Germany even prior to the war? AND Wallstreet supported the Nazis directly by the Harriman brothers, Alan Dulles, Henry Ford and Presott Bush among many? Did you know that the Nazis built truck engines on licence from Gerald Ford throughout the whole war? Finland was allied to Germany during the attack on Russia as well. All the shit the common people of Sweden have to take for some Nazi friendly idiots in the Swedish government. And common Swedes have to take the blame for it and it is so unfair. Working and middle-class Swedes were in general no Nazi sympathizers!

[@lastdingo]

+EcchiRevenge You guys don't get what was demonstrated: it wasn't about penetration, but about behind-armour effect. Normal HEAT doesn't do terribly much spall if the armour is thin because it's the armour that turns into spall. That EFP warhead produced much spalling, as seen on the so-called "dummys". A normal AT4 would have produced much less spalling.
