  1. It can also be pulled as a sled behind skiers or towed on wheels or as a sled behind any vehicle with a carabiner hook or pin type trailer hitch as the pvpj1110 is fitted with a towing eye.

  2. Sounds like a wadcutter could do the cleaning

  3. It's not a problem when the target is a slit trench and a larger round would be just as ineffective due to the zig zag bends of the target trench anyway.

  4. There are no anti air rounds for the Gustav, but Sweden is sending tons of HEAT, HE, Smoke and starburst shells afaik.

  6. There's even similiar top attack thermal homing EFP munitions for 12cm mortars... and the Finnish mortar they were originally designed for went into production in early 1940 and is still in service, but it can also be fired from modern successors like the Finnish AMOS turret or Swedish GRKpbv90120 Mjölner... both with dual barrels, crew constantly under armor and less than 30s set up and redeployment time. The AMOS turret is even capable of 0°-elevation direct fire in self defense with any munition other than the STRIX anti tank round. Eg: frag, smoke, illumination, etc... either way, a pair of ~13kg shells to the face is going to ruin any ambushers day...

  7. No they don't use the same ammo, the same bore diameter, sure, but if you try shooting one of these grenades out of a grenade launcher pisol, you'll blow your hands off, at best.

  8. Sounds like a bad ride to the ER if you are doing it in good company, or a visit by the coroner when your remains starts smelling bad enough to make the neighbours call the cops if you drink alone...😬

  9. ​ @josephmontanaro2350  the main differences is in the warhead, the guidance system and launcher electronics is the same.

  10. ​ @TheArmourersBench  i think it's existing stocks only, but, those stocks were VAST The Swedish cold war munitions stockpiles were dimensioned to last the estimated ~800'000 pre-trained conscript reserves for a full year of nation wide defense in depth and guerilla warfare against a significant chunk of the Red Army...

  11. ​ @hairydogstail  makes sense, and more layers of combustible laquer would just leave more hot residue in the chamber and extend the heat transfer time inside the breech making the problem worse and introduce feed jams on top, increasing the probability of a full mag cook-off...😬

  12.  @forresta65  absolutely

  13. ​ @ScottKenny1978  it's actually got a flatter trajectory than the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge as it's spotting rifle was based on the Ag42 Ljungman in 6.5×55mm mauser round in post ww1 spitzer configuration. When the Swedish army adopted the 7.62×51mm cartridge, the mountings of the rechambered spotting rifles had to be for the slightly more curved trajectory.

  15. In in the Swedish army, equivalent mines to this are commonly combined with one or more claymore type Fordonsmina 13 or 13R The 13 is a 24kg claymore type mine with 1200 steel balls, the 13R(reduced size) is 10.5kg with ~800 steel balls... Both designed to use standard blasting cap initiators, the 13 has a single cap socket on the back, the 13R has two sockets and thus can be set up to ripple fire in series or in paralell, and to use two separate ignition sources, like one for det cord and one nonel or electric or a simple tar cloth and gunpowder fuse.

  16. ​ @honzabalak3462  also, FN FNC, HkG3 and SAKO Hk416 derivatives.

  17. Afaik, the bolt needs to be retracted on the Ksp58 as it's the first FN MAGs that were ever adopted however, the bolt handle is non reciprocating and not spring loaded, so what he does is that he retracts the bolt and then pushes the handle to it's spring latch retained forward position, the bolt stays retracted. The first few dozen of the ksp58s were made in Liege, the rest was licence built in Eskilstuna, freeing up FNs factories to fulfil their national obligations to the Belgian army.

  18. ​ @glynnwright1699  and with Brittish defense companies aquiring significant shares of the Swedish defense industry, they could combine the Swedish warhead expertise from the top attack BILL 1&2 SACLOS ATGMs with the Brittish soft launch propulsion and targeting expertise from the LAW80 replacement project and Swedish expertise in single use man portable polymer launch tube design from the AT4 and the Carl Gustaf mk3+ recoilless rifles.

  19. ​ @mostlymessingabout  nope, STRIX is heat guided and can be told to prioritise targets according to their thermal profile. Eg, going after the T90M in a mixed unit of a T-90M leading a bunch of T-72s or T-80s. Or going after the BUK or Akatsya instead of an MTLB nearby.

  23. The difference is that the RB17 has an APHEFRAG warhead for anti-ship use instead of the HEAT warhead of the original air-to-ground Hellfire. I'm pretty sure the missiles themselves are interchangeable between launch platforms.

  27. ​ @Jonteponte71  they have all been replaced in Swedish service, either with shortened Ak5s or Pistol 88 (glock17) The only antique weapons still in service in the Swedish armed forces is the 84mm GRG m/48, the 120mm GRK m/41E/F, a 19th century cavalry sabre, the 6.5×55mm Mauser m/1896 in the cavalry carbine format. Honourable mention to the purely ceremonial officers rapiers.

  28. Now that would be a shocker if the final kinks of that system was ironed out (such as breech overheating as there's no brass to soak and extract most of the excess heat in a caseless system)

  29. And with a simple barrel abd bolt head swap, you're rocking 7.62×51mm instead.

  30. ​​ @JohnOlimb  with the ammount of ore exports from the Kirunavaara iron mine throughout it's existence, you can bet on it, along with most of the steel and a LOT of the pine wood in post ww2 reconstructed buildings all over Europe, since Sweden was the only country in Europe after ww2 with a fully intact large scale steel and logging industry chain from ore to end products. What we did lack was coal which was abundant in both the UK and West Germany, and once Norway and the UK found accessible oil in the North Sea, that too was on the table.

  31. ​ @brosefmalkovitch3121  so the best sollution would be to spec all 40mm GLs in the future to use QD rail mounts and be issued with a stand alone rail stock and sling so that the individual operator can configure it as a UGL or slung GL as they see fit based on mission parameters?
    1
  32. Imo, a swing out GL with the same Quick detatch rail mount to fit a bottom rail with GL sights that mount to a top OR side rail on either side would be the most useful to any operator as it could be easily reconfigured as either rifle mounted for either right or left side sights preference or on a stand alone dual rail stock as the mission evolves.

  33. Two coaxial plus one on the commanders manually remote controlled hatch mount, so one Ksp58 for each crewman! 🤣

  35. Box of buttons is designed to survive beeing dropped in water up to 20m deep, EMP exposure and getting dropped from 15m height onto concrete. Box of button cares not for snow or other weather.

  36. ​ @littletaff95  the specific ammo developed for the m/45 is called 9mm skptr m/39B it can be recognised by the red laquer seal around the bullet and cartridge joint. The bullet of those rounds has an especially hard and thicker copper alloy jacket as well as almost 150% by weight of a faster burning powder compared to a German ww2 9×19mm parabellum fmj.

  37. ​​ @Hiznogood  modern upgrades to the Ak4C makes it a lot more smooth and comfortable to carry and shoot, especially the length adjustable straight stock from Spuhr with integrated modular cheek rest makes a huge difference in handling when wearing full combat gear with flak vest, both by allowing a tighter shoulder fit and by physically allowing you to have both your eye aligned with the red dot sights AND your cheek on the stock, at the same time!... 😅

  41. ​ @Treblaine  and the direct translation of the full Swedish designation would be: 9cm tank defense piece, type 1110.

  42. The RB17 carries a modified warhead with a HEFRAG charge and smaller HEAT element while the OG hellfire is only HEAT for tank hunting.

  43. Nah, this is an absolutely anemic platform in comparison to those grand old ladies. And, if it's capable of providing the same reliability as an M240 in that compact format, it's absolutely amazing!😳

  48. And the cyclic rate can be increased using a D-cell battery or similiar sized cylindrical object against the rear end cap to pre-tension the main spring... This redneck mod can, however, cause feeding and cycling malfunctions due to incomplete extractions/ejections if weaker ammo than the hot loaded hard jacket Swedish skjptr m39B is used.

  49. This is the case. The Congo crisis showed that the Swedish ww2 era 9×19mm m39 ammo was inconsistent and unreliable at penetrating the improvised body armor of Katangan militia and mercenaries. Because of that, the Swedish materiel administration had the ammo maker develop the 9×19mm m39B round. The slightly lighter bullets of the m39B was cast into a much harder and thicker full metal jacket than the older ammo, and the powder was switched to a faster burning compound, achiving much higher preassure behind a bullet that was gripping the rifling a lot tighter and thus generating a tighter seal, higher bullet velocity, flatter trajectory and didn't shatter or flatten on impact with mild steel as the old bullets did. The tradeoff was significantly more barrel wear, structural stress on the chamber, the main spring and the end cap, as well as the necessity to issue separate service pistol and SMG ammo as the new ammo ruptured and cracked the chamber and locking shoulders of the old Husqvarna Luger clone service pistols.

  50. ​ @Ashitaka255  that part of the NLAW was taken from the Swedish pvrb56 BILL (The worlds first successful top-attack ATGM, designed by SAAB aerospace and Bofors defense when both companies had the Swedish state as the majority shareholder)
