  1. Karl Gustav is better. It's a much more versatile weapon system suitable to engage a wide variety of targets, soft and hard. The RPG-7 is an anti-tank weapon first and foremost, and it suffers from drawbacks such as a limited range and poor anti-structure capability. The Karl Gustav has a tool (round type) for nearly any situation, essentially being a portable field gun compact enough to be carried and operated by a team of two. It's only disadvantage is that it's a bit heavier and more expensive, although it's still easily man portable. Even a single soldier can carry and fire the Karl Gustav if necessary, although teams of two are more effective. For something more analogous to the RPG-7, there is the AT-4. Its improved range and velocity over the RPG-7 give it a leg up, only being held back by it's single shot capability.
