“Sort of the ultimate bazooka.”

Ah, not quite. A “bazooka” is a rocket launcher and a smooth bore. It fires a spin stabilized rocket, usually anti-tank (HEAT), but also HE, TP, and WP Smoke.

The Carl Gustav is an 84mm recoilless rifle with a rifled barrel. The round has a pre-engraved rotating band and the rifling spins the round — just the the projectile from a rifled firearm. The Carl Gustav fires HE, HEAT, APERS, WP Smoke, and TP rounds. Recoilless rifles have greater range and accuracy than the smooth bore bazooka.

Correction: The bazooka uses a fin stabilized rocket; the recoilless rifle round is spin stabilized. [I got ahead of myself as I was typing.}
