Saab’s Carl Gustav provides a lot of firepower in a small package, as well as a wide range of ammunition, that has made it the infantry weapon of choice for over 40 countries. It is seen here in Hungarian service. (Saab photo)

Gads...the Hungarian camo is worse than the ACUs....
Nice. Another weapon system to deploy against citizens.
Gosh, I hate to sound provincial, but we can’t buy an American made system? It would have the advantage of keeping Americans employed and the technology local. I remember when the OSI bought some Israeli machineguns. Congress went ballistic and they dumped them. The Brits were buying grenades from Switzerland, which stopped providing them when the Brits joined the coalition against Saddam Hussein. The Spanish bought the cannons for their Armada from the English, who provided them in so many calibers the logistics of a sea battle became impossible. (Their own ships had only three types.)
For the most part, it’s idiocy to buy weapons from somebody else. (BTW, we’re buying Russian made helicopters for Afghanistan. Yes, there are reasons, but it’s helping the Russians at the expense of American suppliers. Now the Russians can say, “Why buy Sikorsky when even the US Army buys our models?” )
Nice gun, but I don't think it's Man-Portable.
Oh, Gustaf gun. That's different. Never mind.
Isnt that just a bazooka with a scope on it?
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.
I think RPG’s strapped to the back look cooler.
When I was a 2LT in the U.S. Army in 1975, my platoon assigned a 90mm RR with serial number 00007.
