IIRC after hundreds of tests and all kinds of designs, it turns out to be the best single design within a reasonable weight.

That’s the gun we need. We wouldn’t need anything else.

I’ve got a Carl Gustav- made in 1919 (Mauser).

Better Saab than Ikea... the war would be over before you got it deployed and assembled.

Even american made weapons are subject to “globalization”. This approach will surely bite us in the butt.

I think RPG’s strapped to the back look cooler.

I don’t know what it is like today, but in the mid 80s we had gone decades without an effective version, it isn’t an easy niche to fill, and we need to find the best.

This is the first in a new generation of munitions for the Carl-Gustaf designed to reduce back blast. This will allow soldiers to safely employ the weapon in confined spaces, minimizing the hazardous effects of traditional shoulder fired munitions.
I've been looking for something I can use from the Living room.

When I was a 2LT in the U.S. Army in 1975, my platoon assigned a 90mm RR with serial number 00007.
