Know Your Weapons: Carl Gustav m/45B (Swedish K)

I remember the first time I heard about this gun was when I read John Plaster’s outstanding book about MAC-V-SOG in Vietnam, Secret Commando’s: Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG.

If you enjoy Military History, I highly recommend this book.

Plaster is the real deal, having written one of the foremost books on Rifle Marksmanship as well, The Ultimate Sniper.

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!
