M2 Carl Gustav

The M2 Carl Gustav is a Swedish made, multi-role, recoilless Anti-Tank rifle.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
The M2 is used only by the European Union Engineer kit in multiplayer mode and only by the US in singleplayer mode.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The M2CG is used by the MEC Demolition kit; its statistics are identical to those of its RU and US counterparts. However, the M2GC has a less awkward reload animation compared to the RPG-7 and M136. This can give players an advantage when using it as the lack of awkwardness can help with making the next shot more accurate.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The M2 Carl Gustav is the second rocket launcher unlocked by the Engineer kit, requiring 8,700 Engineer points. It does less damage against armor than the AT4 or RPG (22% minimum, vs. 33% and 28%), but the rockets fly significantly faster than those of the RPG-7. The Gustav is well-suited for bunker-busting, anti-infantry, and anti-helicopter roles because of its accuracy, speed, and (in the case of anti-infantry) large splash radius. The M2 Carl Gustav is often more efficient than even the AT4 at destroying helicopters because the projectile fires at full speed immediately, unlike the AT4 which takes some time to accelerate to full speed after being fired. The Carl Gustav is extremely effective when used by Black Hawk passengers due to its high damage and quick projectile speed.

Trivia

 * The Carl Gustav is the only rocket launcher that is available for Preston Marlowe to use in Battlefield: Bad Company 2's single player campaign.
 * In Battlefield: Bad Company, it is the rocket launcher used by Preston to bring down the Legionnaire in the last mission, Ghost Town.
 * In Bad Company 2, no multiplayer faction has an Engineer character model with an M2 Carl Gustav. However, the Bolivian militia's engineer model has an M2, as can be seen in singleplayer.
 * The Carl Gustav is actually a recoilless rifle, firing a shell rather than a propelled rocket. Which is strange because that would make it impossible to adjust it's course to track a Tracer Dart.
