I made a little Carl Gustaf M4 for you all. The files include the launcher and backpack. The backpack comes in two colorways:
- Multicam Backpack
- Black Backpack
- Decimated later LODs to help somewhat with performance
- Fixed broken backpack shadow casting
- Fixed compatibility with 7/15 game update
