Sweden: 84mm Carl Gustav recoilless fire control system

[Mobhack]

A laser is overkill at such short ranges.

The only thing a laser has as an advantage is that it is 2 shots ranging rather than 3 to maximum. But at such short ranges, its likely to be ranged in with 1 shot anyway.

The laser would also only be useful for the inf-AT teams, since giving it to a section equipped with Charlie G would then give all the riflemen lasers too.

The best practical variable to play with therefore for such would be the ACC variable of the weapon itself. It seems to be 6, with a range of 9. Whack it up to say 12, and then see if that makes a noticeable change in testing over a decent number of test shots as a first attempt.

Ah the Charley G well known, and generally disliked, by most British infantry soldiers in the early 1980's. More senior ranks liked to tell you how firing one was like getting a Cricket bat in the face (They exaggerated as soldiers always will) Meanwhile it has become more popular and, no doubt much welcome, lighter and with less bits sticking out to injure one...

Generally a platoon weapon in my day, although occasionally issued at a section level, I seldom saw any idea in the British Army that it should have been used from a flank, rather than as a one, or maybe two shot 'Victoria Cross' weapon used in front of a position that would not actually stop a vast number of Warsaw Pact tanks running over you...
