Bofors Carl Gustaf AB is a Swedish armaments firm, now owned by Bofors. Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori ("Rifle Factory of Carl Gustaf's town") was founded in 1812 as a state arsenal. The name Carl Gustaf's town was a name used intermittently for the town Eskilstuna after king Karl X Gustav gave the town city privileges. In addition Bofors Carl Gustaf have produced a number of other weapons such as the 20 mm Carl Gustav m/42 anti-tank rifle, the 20 mm m/45 autocannon and the famed 84 mm Carl Gustav recoilless rifle, still one of the most common anti-tank weapons in the world.
