Medium Caliber Ammunition
84MM ILLG
This ammunition is fired from Gun 84 mm RCL Carl Gustaf from the shoulder. The cartridge combines some of the characteristics of Rocket and Artillery ammunition in its design. The ammunition is of Swedish design. The illuminating round has been designed to meet the requirement for a very quick illumination of target areas, offering facilities for all types of direct fired weapons and guided anti-tank weapons to engage, Armoured fighting vehicles, support weapons etc. The illuminating round is also intended to facilitate for the sub-units of the battalion, supply of their own illumination of battle field, even continuous, when required. The ammunition is of the fixed type. The design of the ammunition parts and functioning are like Artillery components excepting that the rear end of the cartridge case is closed by a plastic blow out disc(base plate), which allows rearward escape of the propellant gas so as to make the weapon recoilless and the ignition of the propellant is by a side-located percussion cap and an igniter composition.
Two rounds are packed in twin containers made up of injection moulded tube of high density polyethylene. Three such twin containers (total 6 rounds) are packed in one wooden crate.
