Current M3 recoilless rifle = K(c)arl Gustax developed in Sweden during the 1940s. I am not sure if the article made a mistake stating the new weapon will fire missiles as the Karl Gustax does not fire rockets per say although it does have rocket assisted rounds.

The Infantry needs portable artillery support and have re-discovered the recoilless rifle.
How retro!
Of course the warheads they'll be able to fire from them will be terrifying compared to what original weapons used!

Nuthin sez’s lovin in n a oven to the enemy like a TACP with experience and skills, a suite of radios and a laser to sparkle targets for CAS ..... but the M3 is one hell of a surgical game changer against hard targets.

Actually, I think the infantry needs a selection of shoulder fired weapons. The old LAW was not bad as an urban area weapon, but something smaller and lighter to “pop snipers in windows” would be grand.

They already have the superior XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) System, that fires 25mm grenades.

The US Army is working on a 40 mm autonomous airburst Small Arms Grenade Munitions (SAGM) round to give 40 mm grenade launchers airburst capabilities as a complementary system to the XM25.

But there’s a big leap to this system.
