Its design includes titanium components and carbon fibre wrapping to reduce weight and increase flexibility.

The recoilless rifle is less than 1,000mm in length and weighs under 7kg, allowing operation by a two-person team consisting of a gunner and a loader.

The CGM4 is capable of firing a range of ammunition types targeting armoured vehicles, landing craft, bunkers, and obstacles, as well as engaging targets inside buildings.

Ammunition options include anti-armour, anti-structure, multi-role, anti-personnel rounds as well as smoke and illumination support rounds.

According to Saab, more than 40 countries have purchased the Carl-Gustaf system.

Denmark’s armed forces have operated the Carl-Gustaf, referred to locally as Dysekanon, since the 1970s and added the latest M4 model to their inventory in 2022.

Around this time in 2024, Saab Australia secured a contract to provide local through-life support for the Australian Army’s fleet of 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4.

Additionally, in June 2024, Saab finalised terms with the Polish Armed Forces for an unspecified quantity of Carl-Gustaf M4 systems at a cost of Skr13bn ($1.4bn), following an initial announcement on 4 March 2024.
