Well, it's about time that the Carl Gustav became standard issue. This weapon has been in use by several military forces, especially the British, for several years. The U.S. had the 90mm recoilless rifle with mixed reviews, instead of adopting the tried and true 'Charlie G". There was a lightweight model of this weapon years ago featuring a thin steel barrel wound with fiberglass and a limited barrel life, but for the U.s., that should not be a problem.
