The RPG-7 is a modern Soviet anti-tank launcher based on the highly successful RPG-2. It is reliable, ergonomic, cheap and supremely effective against even the most up-to-date armour designs. It fires a 40mm rocket at a distance of up to 500m, though it is typically only effective at 200m or so. The RPG-7 has been hailed as the world's most effective handheld anti-tank launcher and derided a real headache by western forces in proxy conflicts such as the Vietnam War. In Oceanyka it is both uncommon and highly sought-after.
