Yours is the firm that makes the Karl Gustav 84mm , known in Oz as
the "Charlie Swede" or "Gutsache", right? If not, it doesn't matter.

We accidentally found the best Anti-personnel round for the Swede one
day
at the range. It's ILLUM.

Picture this: the gunner gets the tap on his shoulder from the loader
signifying the backblast area is "all clear", round is loaded and breech
locked, and pulls the trigger on an Illumination shot.

At that very moment, the BullAnts that have been crawling up his legs
start to sting him "midpoint between the big toes".

Bull Ants , AKA "Bulldog Ants" or "Bulljoes" are the most primitive
form of formicidae in the world, essentially millions of years old.
They're
also the largest, big ones being 5cm long.
Their main weapon is the envenomed sting they have in their tail, it's
1-cm long,  and hurts like hell. They sting repeatedly.

The azimuth and elevation of the Charlie Swede changed abruptly as it
was
fired,
and it went wayyyyy outside the target range.

We found where it landed the next day. Also the 3 cows that had been
nearby. One was carbonised on one side, well-cooked on the other,
the two more distant ones were just blackened and parboiled. Greater
radius of effect than HE.
