My buddy saw the response to my previous post about the M3 Carl Gustaf and wanted to elaborate and clarify a few things for our readers. Below you will see the details that he shared with me on the tactical employment of the Goose, and some of the training considerations. I hope this proves useful for those of you who are fixing to take this recoiless rifle to Afghanistan in the coming months.
Configuration of an Anti-Tank Team:
The gunner carries the gun (CG) and at the MOST an m4 is what we found to be good, but we eventually went with the gunner carrying a nine (M9). The goose can be a chore enough to lug around, and make sure its not dinging on anything (being that the sight mount is pretty sensitive). I must say a two man goose team was essential during rough firefights and made all the difference sometimes where a Javeline would have made none.
