Michael Wrote:The CG 84 is the most capable of the three comparable systems (the other two being MK 153 and RPG 7). The sights are more intuitive and there are more options for types of rounds. The RPG-7 may not have the IDF capability, but that doesn't keep the bad guys from trying to use it like a mortar - usually resulting in an airburst. The thermobaric round for the MK-153 is an awesome projectile, and the only reason I would consider using a MK-153 over a CG 84 is in dealing with cave dwellers.
The other problem with the MK-153 SMAW is range. It has an effective range of 500 meters, the RPG-7 about 700 m. The CG 84mm (M3) has a range of 900m!
