POTD: Green Beret Fires a Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle
Photo Of The Day – This is TFB’s last POTD in 2019, and the last POTD of this decade.
We are looking at a Green Beret as he fires an M3 MAAWS Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle during training in the Nevada Desert.
Below: Beware of the blast. Always check behind you before using the Carl Gustaf. Notice the CAT Tourniquet on the soldier’s backpack.
The Carl Gustaf is made by Saab Bofors Dynamics and Howa under license.
