It's not photoshopped, the same photo was on Estonian Army website. Most equipment used by Estonian Army are purchased from Sweden or Finland. This particular weapon I'm not familiar with so I'm quite sure it's ex Swedish Army or moded version as Droney said.
M40 recoilless rifle?
The M40 recoilless rifle was a lightweight, portable, crew-served 105 mm (N.B. The weapon is commonly described as being 106 mm, but it is in fact 105 mm; the 106 mm designation was designed to prevent confusion with the incompatible 105 mm ammunition from the failed M27) weapon intended primarily as an anti-tank weapon made in the United States. It could also be employed in an antipersonnel role with the use of the antipersonnel-tracer flechette round. It can be fired primarily from a wheeled ground mount. The air-cooled, breech-loaded, single-shot rifle fired fixed ammunition. It was designed for direct firing only, and sighting equipment for this purpose was furnished with each weapon.
I believe the US Army's 'ONTOS' mounted 6 of these?
