OK. Was curious regarding if anyone would recognize the "GRG M/48".
The AT4 however, is much "younger" though, and was introduced in a more wider range, to troops in SwARMY while I was serving as instructor at the 1st Inf Rgt in 1987. I know US Armed Forces uses this weapon since quite many years now, as I have seen it being carried by US troops in photographs I have seen both online aswell as on television. There was however an earlier modell of this "single shot"-version, which was called "modell 68", in contrast to the "AT4" actually being a "modell 86". The digits in the designation, stands for the year of when serial production is decided to be initiated. (Which in itself does not neccessarily have to be that specific year though).
I know about carrying the amunition for the reciolless re-chargable ones.... No fun running in dense vegitation, with a bunch of those in each hand, aswell as having even more of them strapped on the back. Then again, it still beats hawling around with the actual weapon in question... "Ugh!" Fireing it, is also "quite something". After doing that, I had no problem understanding why one always have to talk so loudly, when ever talking to a "redleg".... Chuckle! It was however actually worse though, if standing just a few feet away, compared to being the one actually disscharging the weapon in question.
T G C!
