Carl Gustaf 4: Ammo Live Fire – High-Explosive to 7.62 mm Sub-Cal Practice
Go behind the line with a Swedish-developed Carl-Gustaf 84 mm recoilless rifle (Multi-Role Anti-Armor, Anti-Personnel Weapon System) during a multi-ammo live-fire training session. This video shows the full firing sequence and on-target effects of four ammunition types used for combat and training:
• HE 441 (High-Explosive / fragmentation) — blast and fragment effects; airburst-capable for anti-personnel/area targets.
• TP 552 (Rocket-Assisted Practice Projectile, inert) — rocket-assisted training round that matches HEAT ballistics for realistic trajectory and time-of-flight.
• TPT 141 (Training-Practice Tracer) — inert practice round fitted with a tracer visible through the trajectory, used to reduce training costs while preserving realistic firing characteristics.
• 7.62 mm Sub-calibre 553B (sub-calibre adapter + tracer cartridges) — sub-calibre adapter enabling 7.62 mm tracer rounds to replicate full-calibre ballistics for inexpensive gunnery training.
