The WM3 MAAWS (Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-personnel Weapon System) is the US military designation for the Carl Gustaf M3 recoilless rifle, an 84 mm man-portable reusable anti-tank weapon produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics in Sweden. It is primarily used by United States Special Operations Command such as the Army Rangers, Army Special Forces, Marine Raiders, Navy SEALs, and JSOC operators.
Introduced in 1946, it was one of the many recoilless rifle designs of that era. While similar weapons have generally disappeared from service, the Carl Gustaf is still being made and remains in widespread use today. The Carl Gustaf is a lightweight, low cost weapon that uses a wide range of ammunition, which makes it extremely flexible and suitable in a wide variety of roles.
