Talk:Carl Gustaf m/45

message: I've removed the sentence "The M76 variant was briefly used by the Joker in The Dark Knight." from the Manufacturers and users section. First it doesn't belong there and second, no other weapon (Desert Eagle, Colt Peacemaker) have list of movies they were used in. --ReconTanto (talk) 06:49, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed reference to The Dark Knight movie 

message: 1. The proper name, according to the [the manual is Gustaf
2. also, the photo caption about firing position is incorrect according to the illustrations in the manual

thread_title:  Gustaf/Gustav 

message: The article said the M45 was the standard weapon of the Swedish Defence Forces until late 1990s. This is untrue. It was standard until 1965. Between 1965 and 1986 the AK4 was standard, then replaced by the present standard weapon AK5. /Swede
Depending on rank and which branch you served in, standard issue weapons varied (and probably still do; e.g, I'm fairly sure officers still have sidearms). While it could well be that infantry privates didn't use the kpist after 1965, much of the artillery, for example, still used the kpist at least in the mid-eighties. I know this, because I was there, and I did. (Dang, how I hate it when people stroppily declare something to be "incorrect"... And then it's they themselves who are wrong.) --CRConrad (talk) 00:05, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: It's not really clear if there's any connection between the Carl Gustav m/45 and the so-called "Carlo" improvised sub-machine gun. See pictures in he:קרלו (תת-מקלע). The Carl Gustav has hardly been used around. A speculation I heard is that Carlo comes from Arabic: كارلوجستاف. Tzafrir (talk) 15:21, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems those home made guns for some reason (which may or may not be reasonable) are called Carl Gustav, but from the pictures I have seen there is little to none resemblance neither in appearance nor function (other than very general ones, like being able to fire a bullet) so unless we expand the article with a trivia-section I do not see where that would fit in.

thread_title:  Improvised or DIY Carl Gustavs could be added to the article 

message: Alas, I have yet to find free pictures showing the operation, but some excellent photos are to be found on Göta Vapen.
