USSOCOM M3 MAAWS Bazooka (by VFC - Gas Grenade Launcher )

On March 28, 2013, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) asked the manufacturer to reduce weight, but given strict instructions that the reduction in weight and size should not affect the weapon's center gravity and durability. Saab Bofors Dynamics had also already developed a weight-reduced version prior to delivery to USSOCOM. It had been shown in firing tests that it has no performance degradation, no recoil increase, and barrel life is essentially the same as the unreduced version.

The main structure of a Carl Gustaf's body is composed of the barrel with breech recoil buffer, plus two grips and the interface of the stock assembly and the tripod. It is equipped with both mechanical sights and optical sight mounts.

• Lightweight Nylon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Design

   

VFC’s USSOCOM M3 MAAWS utilizes nylon fiber-reinforced polymer for the main structure, which greatly reduces the weight of the whole product. This provides a weight reduction from what would be 10 kg (if manufactured using original material) to about 4 kg with the VFC design. Internally, all key components are still made from metal, so durability is retained where it matters most! This design not only reduces the weight, but also maintains the structural strength of the USSOCOM M3 MAAWS platform.

• Realistic Operation

   

Staying true to the design of the real USSOCOM M3 MAAWS, it’s not only effective in eliminating your target, but also simulates the operational experience of the original M3 as much as possible. Bring it to the airsoft battlefield and you will not only get a lot of looks, but also have a lot of fun!

• Simulated 84mm Dummy Rocket

   

The USSOCOM M3 MAAWS Gas Launcher includes a simulated 84mm dummy rocket with added functionality. You can install a 40mm airsoft gas grenade by removing the dummy rocket cap on the 84mm rocket. And, the 40mm airsoft gas grenade can either fire BBs or the rubber grenade cap!

• Interchangeable Ammunition Types

In addition to the default green gas power, other power-source grenades will be released in the future. But, it doesn’t stop there... the types of projectiles used in the M3 are not only just 6mm BBs , but also with standard 40mm gas grenade, and optional "Titan" 40 mm gas grenade available 65mm launch module (Configured in accordance with national laws). You will have even more options of other projectiles too, so your USSOCOM M3 MAAWS can have the same tactical flexibility on the Airsoft battlefield like the real one!
