  1. The current M4 (M3E3 in US designation) Carl Gustav 84mm is shorter, lighter, way more powerful, has even less recoil, and a truly huge plethora of ammunition. It is also in current use in some 50 armies, so I'm not really sure what you mean by "brought back"?

  2. For a native english speaker I think he did a damn fine attempt.

  3.  @justforever96  The current Carl Gustav is just the natural progression of the one Ian showed here. 20mm vs 84mm makes quite the difference. Recoilless rifles, as a concept, has one key advantage over anything rocket driven: insane acceleration. And then they have one decisive disadvantage: the noise! They're so incredibly loud you won't believe it, and they kick up more dust than an artillery piece, so they pretty much give your location away instantly.
