Carl Gustav 84mm Anti Tank Weapon

Compared to this anti tank weapon, those machine guns are literally 'small boys'toys'. Imagine a 84mm shell being blasted away 3 inches from your ear. I guess I was lucky to be able to shoot it so many times years after years. Even in the regular army, only those in the Support Weapon Section can shoot it regularly.
