That doesn't make sense to me (though, I grant you, we are dealing with the US military). The Rangers and SF are already using the M-3 Carl Gustav recoilless rifle -- it seems like they could just order more for the 82nd and 101st and light fighters. It's already in the supply chain, and the Army already has people who are training-qualified on it. Or am I thinking too logically...?
