The RPG-7 (Russian: РПГ-7) is a widely-produced, portable, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade weapon. Originally the RPG-7 (Reaktivniy (Rocket) Protivotankovye (Anti-Tank) Granatamyot (Grenade Launcher) and its predecessor the RPG-2 were designed by the Soviet Union. The weapon has the GRAU index 6G3.

The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 have made it the most widely used RPG in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in a number of variants by nine countries. It is also popular with irregular and guerrilla forces. Numerous recent conflicts with such forces have seen extensive use of the RPG-7, including the Battle of Mogadishu, War in Afghanistan, and Iraq War.

The most commonly seen major variations are the RPG-7D paratrooper model (able to be broken into two parts for easier carrying), and the lighter Chinese Type 69 RPG.

The RPG-7 was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and deployed at a squad level. It replaced the RPG-3, having clearly out-performed the intermediate RPG-4 design during testing. Its original design concept originated with two World War II era weapons: the American Bazooka and the German Panzerfaust. The current model produced by Russia is the RPG-7V2, capable of firing standard and dual high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, high explosive/fragmentation, and thermobaric warheads, with a UP-7V sighting device fitted (used in tandem with the standard optical sight) to allow the use of extended range ammunition. The RPG-7D3 is the equivalent paratrooper model. Both the RPG-7V2 and RPG-7D3 were adopted by the Russian Ground Forces in 2001.

  • M60 has slower fire ...

    M60 has slower fire rate and more ureliable thank PKM. And i think Ak74 beats M16 because its more reliable and its 5x45x39 round is slightly more powereful. But it looses a bit in accuracy to M16 but its still accurate enough to delivery deadly round at long ranges. Thats because you THINK than they are better but they arent. But youre right about that pros and cons thing. But in overall PKM and AK47/74 beats M60, M16,M14. Youre wathed too much american shows.

  • look im not sayin ...

    look im not sayin russian weapons are horrible weapons im jus sayin tht they arnt as good as some american ones.for example u mentioned the AK well the m16 nor the AK are bad weapons and they both have their pros nd cons so they are basically evenly matched. then you have PKM and once again though the PKM is not a bad weapon, the M60 machine gun that NATO forces use is equal or even may b a little bit better.
