Don't think this will come to much.

There are 2xSMAWs per Rifle Platoon already, so two of the three Rifle Squads already have a bunker buster/AT weapon the third squad often winds up with a Javelin.

After several years of testing, U.S. Marines have fielded the updated Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon, or SMAW Mod 2.

The new version of the shoulder-fired bunker buster was fielded to II Marine Expeditionary Force in November and is being fielded to I MEF this month, according to Barbara Hamby, a spokeswoman for Marine Corps Systems Command.

“SMAW Mod 2 improvements increase system accuracy, reliability and maintainability, and increase gunner survivability,” Hamby said.

AGS-40 GL. Maybe this year.

ZVEZDA and Interfax have said that the Russian military is expected to adopt the 40mm AGS-40 “Balkan” automatic grenade launcher sometime this year.

The AGS-40 was originally expected to enter service in 2017. It has been claimed that it was tested in the field in Syria.
