Archer ' s stake An archer ' s stake was an anti - cavalry defence used by longbowmen in the 15th and 16th centuries . Origins . At the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396 Turkish archers were stationed behind a barrier of stakes . This may have inspired Henry V when he instructed his men to provide themselves with six foot stakes , which were to be planted in front of them at an angle to impale horses of attacking French men - at - arms prior to the Battle of Agincourt . Deployment . There are three schools of thought about the deployment of stakes . The traditional view is that all the stakes were placed in front of the front rank to create a fence . In 1976 , John Keegan proposed that each archer placed his stake in front of him where he stood in the ranks , thus creating a defensive belt of stakes several yards wide within which the archers operated . Keegan ' s proposal has been challenged by Clifford J . Rogers , who argues that most stakes were placed in a fence arrangement , with staggered gaps for archers to move through , in combination with a band of more widely spaced stakes . Usage . After the Agincourt campaign , stakes became a common piece of equipment for the English longbowman fighting in France . After the end of the Hundred Years War , stakes continued to be used , for example at the Battle of Blore Heath during the Wars of the Roses and the by English mercenaries at the Battle of Montlhéry during the War of the Public Weal . Tudor archers also used stakes in the early 16th century . Henry VIII ' s army which invaded France in 1513 carried 5000 stakes in wagons and iron - bound archers ' stakes are mentioned on several occasions thereafter .

Bofors Carl Gustaf Bofors Carl Gustaf AB is a Swedish armaments firm , now owned by Bofors . Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori ( " Rifle Factory of Carl Gustaf ' s town " ) was founded in 1812 as a state arsenal . The name Carl Gustaf ' s town was a name used intermittently for the town Eskilstuna after king Karl X Gustav gave the town city privileges . Along with Husqvarna Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori has provided the Swedish Army with small arms for almost two centuries .

In addition Bofors Carl Gustaf have produced a number of other weapons such as the 20 mm Carl Gustav m / 42 anti - tank rifle , the 20 mm m / 45 autocannon and the famed 84 mm Carl Gustav recoilless rifle , still one of the most common anti - tank weapons in the world . Between 1943 and 1991 the factory was run by a state agency named FFV , and the whole complex was often referred to as FFV - Carl Gustaf . In 1970 Husqvarna sold its small arms division to FFV . Carl Gustaf continued to manufacture the Husqvarna 1900 hunting rifles and also developed them into the 2000 - series . Today they build the standard Swedish Army weapon , the AK5 ( aka CGA5 ) assault rifle . The AK5 is a modified version of the Fabrique Nationale 5 . 56 mm carbine ( FN FNC ) produced with a folding stock and an option to mount the SUSAT sight from the British SA80 .
