[VFC] US SOCOM M3 MAAWS Airsoft Launcher

This gas-powered airsoft gun is a recreation of the M3 MAAWS, the weapon of the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Shipping costs will be higher than usual due to the large packaging, but we will ship at the standard shipping rate.

The M3 MAAWS is the name used by the US military, but it was originally an 84mm caliber launcher called the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle, developed in Sweden in the 1940s.

While it has undergone several updates over the nearly 80 years since its introduction, it is still used by the US military and Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, and is also a model that appears in many movies and games.

To make it a lightweight gun suitable for personal transport, it has a recoilless design and uses a "Krupp" system in which the rear of the barrel is open, allowing the user to see through the rear of the gun, and when fired, a powerful blast is generated behind the gun.

Initially, it was used as an anti-armor gun against tanks and other targets, but over the years, the armor performance of main battle tanks improved, and more powerful recoilless rifles were developed to counter this, so it was no longer used as a main weapon.

However, the Carl Gustav's short length, light weight, and ability to easily accommodate a variety of ammunition are still highly valued, and it is still in active service as a multi-purpose support gun.

This VFC model update places emphasis on "lightweight," just like the design concept of the real thing, and by making extensive use of plastic, it has achieved a weight of approximately 3.4 kg.

It uses the standard 40mm gas cartridge for airsoft launchers and fires lightweight rubber cap bullets.

Additionally, there are some interesting options available for purchase separately, such as a long cartridge that is longer than the standard 40mm STD cartridge, an 84mm realistic dummy warhead that can be loaded into both the STD and long cartridges, and even a 65mm soft plastic shell ball that can be loaded with BBs and fired.Although loading and retrieving the cartridges requires some effort, you can still experience the power of a recoilless rifle.

The main unit comes with one 40mm cartridge and four rubber cap bullets, so it would likely be banned in many airsoft fields, but a rocket launcher is a man's dream after all! Even just carrying it on your back as part of a cosplay is sure to be an envy-worthy and impressive piece.
