I was going to say that Ranger Regiment has been using the Carl Gustav for quite some time. Those are some impressive warheads.
The Taliban and their Mujahaideen origins are well aware of small arms ranges, and seem to favor far ambushes outside of 800m+, especially if Dshka's are available. You can use thermals with trail teams as you bound, regardless of time of day, to detect human signatures, and initiate on your terms, but most small unit leaders think too much in a very small box, and don't use the tools available to them. This problem is systemic and is found throughout the US modern war experience.
