Thermobaric rounds are awesome.
I don't have any hands on time with the SMAW, but it would be a hard sell to convince me it was preferable to the Goose Gun. It was a very happy day when USASFC decided the Rangers were onto something and bought some Carl Gustavs.

I'm generally in favor of systems that put more power in the hands of the infantry. Of course, we must bear in mind that our likely enemies are even more in need of yet-better infantry weapons. What we develop today...

The Russians have had a thermobaric round for the RPG-7 since 1988, the TBG-7V. They also have had a similar round for the RPG-29, the TBG-29V, since the 1990s.
It seems we in the West are still playing catch up with giving the infantry thermobaric ammunition. http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl02-e.htm RPG-7 and ammunition. http://www.olive-drab.com/od_infweap...viet_rpg29.php RPG-29

Thanks Webstral.
If you haven't already, it's definitely worth your time to peruse the site from which I got the RPG-7 information http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm It seems to be a bit of a favourite for a few other people here and the Olive Drab site http://www.olive-drab.com/ has a sort of miscellaneous feel to it but still has lots of good info
