Just read a dossier on a Danish combined arms battalion (infantry heavy) around 1985. They were suppsed to be using M72 LAW akin to US forces, handing them out to platoons in a rather leisure way. The rest of their equipment was subpar, compared to larger NATO countries, but that's a different story.
It's sturdy and the M3 comes in at 10 kg, so it's reasonably handy for its fire power. Also, ammunition is compact and can be distributed among the members of a team, squad or group.
I favor the Panzerfaust 3, but I think I'd really appreciate to have a Carl Gustaf in 2000. Ammunition is easier to produce. Blueprints for about a dozen warheads are available, covering every aspect of direct fire support. It even comes with a flechette round.
