The Carl-Gustaf is effective against armoured targets and personnel, and the latest M4 RD version is shorter and lighter than previous models, making it easier and less complicated to use.

The system is suitable for supporting unit manoeuvres or engaging armoured vehicles, and it has been battle-tested and proven highly effective. Saab states that “Proven to deliver results on the battlefield, Carl-Gustaf provides the effectiveness soldiers need,” highlighting its operational performance.
“The wide range of ammunition types for Carl-Gustaf makes it flexible and able to handle any situation, whether it is to destroy an armoured vehicle or structure, or illuminating the battlefield during night operations,” Saab adds. The Carl-Gustaf system is supplied to more than 40 countries worldwide, underlining its established role in modern armed forces.
