The Army and Marine Corps agreed to start acquiring large numbers of the Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle. To anyone saying "BUT ITS NOT" a rocket launcher. It launches literal rockets quit splitting hairs with me. You might be asking what do we need rocket launchers for? We’ll go over why the Carl Gustaf will potentially save the military a ton of money. Raytheon developed a laser guided munition which will now bring precision to the squad level. The M72 LAW that it will replace has been in service in the Marine Crops since the 70s.

The Carl is an 84 mm rocket system and some of the new rocket munitions utilizes a two stage booster which first fires a small boost of propellant which isn’t powerful enough to hurt a user who fires it indoors. This is what gives it that greater accuracy to its target. The maximum effective distance will vary here depending on a few factors.

When you look at the Carl Gustaf at first glance the first impression the first thing you see is it looks more unwieldy than the AT4 and the old LAW which are two of the other popular US Military rocket launcher.Here’s the really exciting part. Today’s rocket launcher use an optic which can store up to 50 different ballistic algorithms. It automatically compensates for the ballistic drop of projectiles at different differences. It factors in variables like rotational spin and drift, propellant temperature and terrain angle.
You have to make sure you look behind you and yell “back blast area clear” to be safe!
