SWISS FLYING CARROTS: Stgw. 57 Rifle Grenade Supercut (w/Subtitles)

    My father served in 1981 as a non-commissioned officer in the 12th mountain division. That was a fusilier company. The recoil of the rifle grenade was around 80 kg. Broken fingers and broken noses were commonplace. Everyone, even smaller and lankier recruits, had to learn to use the infamous rifle grenade effectively in battle. You didn't always have time or space to open the winter trigger and, especially in trenches, you had to use different firing techniques than shown in the video. sometimes you had no choice but to shoot from the shoulder.

    pretty good firepower on close range combat if you think - you have a pretty good rate of fire with these Grenades and they were pretty effective (shaped-charge, and the grey "Stahlgranate" -> Steelgrenade/"Splinter" (the one that is rather slim and ripped around the warhead) - the grey ones were the "real" explosive ones.. the orange were blanks/dummies.. the slim ones with white cap were the fog-grenades :)

    usually there were several RAK teams in each platoon using the Bazooka and then there were the few shooters for rifles grenades which usually were the strongest soldiers since with 90kg/200lb recoil you had to be strong, also each platoon had also commado group with a few of the ones wiith all above skills plus being excellent in card reading and excelled in all other sports...

Was it a case of first language choice for the NCO concerned or policy choice for the unit or - it just didn't matter too much? EDIT - and in one clip in both languages. How kind.

    Every NCO and above should have some proficiency in both german and french military lingo ("zug daher - séction à moi"). Therefore, bilingues are kind of preferred candidates for NCO/officer selection - and because you can also be drafted for higher positions, some of the bilingues choose to fly under the radar (" j'ai rien compris ")

    Nun ja, das mit dem "nicht mehr wirken" ist so eine Aussage, die immer gefährlich ist. Wenn wir immer vom modernsten und besten Gegner ausgehen, dann ja, hätte ich mit meiner Runkel ein Problem gehabt. Aber auch bei den grossen Manövern hatte ich es meistens mit Spähpanzern, Radschützenpanzern und Luftlangetruppen zu tun. Und da war uns die Gewehrgranate oder die Rakröhre, die wir da hatten und einsetzen konnten, lieber wie der versprochene PAL- Halbzug, der nicht eingetroffen ist. Und wenn ich mir so die Bilder aus dem Bürgerkrieg in Syrien anschaue und wie da die T-72 ihre liebe Mühe gegen RPG-7 Raketen haben, dann ist es wohl wie immer: lieber eine einfache Waffe, die man hat, als ein Laserschwert, dass noch auf dem Wunschzettel steht. Zumindest bei mir hat es, trotz massivem Runkeleinsatz, noch immer für eine Auszeichnung gereicht.
