Strap in, soldiers, because we're entering some boom times for the Carl Gustaf — in more ways than one.
Swedish manufacturer Saab has signed an $87 million multi-year contract with the Army to furnish soldiers with new and improved 85mm M3E1 Carl Gustaf recoilless rifles in the coming years, the company announced on Thursday.
The Army approved the latest upgrade back in 2017 after announcing that every platoon would eventually receive a Carl Gustaf for combat use. The new version has a titanium shell and weighs in at 14.8 pounds, apparently making it 28 percent lighter and far more ergonomic than its M3 and M3A1 predecessors.

OUR SOLDIERS HAVE GOTTEN INTO HEATED ARGUMENTS over who gets to fire a Carl Gustaff. They are quite fun to fire and quite effective. Watch a video on one firing, they are like having the power of a tank, that fires from the shoulder.
