Carl-Gustaf M4: US Special Forces Standard — 90 Countries, 76 Years
The Carl-Gustaf M4 is Saab’s 84mm multi-purpose shoulder-launched weapon system. At 6.6 kg with optional smart sight, it is standard equipment in 90+ countries including US Special Forces. It covers anti-armor, personnel, bunker-busting, and drone engagement roles.
Secret of 76 Years of Modernization
Each generation updates the ammunition; the platform stays. M4’s titanium-carbon fiber receiver halved weight to 6.6 kg versus M3. The smart Fire Control Device (FCD) provides laser ranging and ballistic computation — and lays groundwork for drone engagement.
US Special Forces Standard
The US Army procured thousands under the MAAWS program. This strong reference validates Saab’s continuous modernization approach.

Türk Muadili
Turkey uses Carl-Gustaf. ROKETSAN’s OMTAS offers 4+ km guided anti-armor; however, no domestic 84mm shoulder-launched equivalent exists. This means infantry-level dependence on a foreign platform.
