RPG-7

"A simple to use portable antitank weapon that can be equipped with various types of grenades, a favorite for piercing through even the heaviest of armor. Soldiers need to be prepared to handle the RPG-7's powerful backlash and its affect on their accuracy."

- The Arsenal

The RPG-7, Rocket Propelled Grenade - Mark 7, is an Explosive weapon that was released in the 10-14-09 Patch.

It is capable of firing highly explosive, rocket-shaped grenades. It is currently one of two Launchers that are constantly available for purchase, the other being the LAW.

Likewise, it cannot be fitted with any attachments.

Overview
The RPG-7 can be seen as a great improvement of the LAW. Compared to its predecessor, its damage and blast radius are greater by a slight margin.

When it was first released, the RPG-7 was extremely effective in killing the Infected, especially newly Infected players since it did 150+ damage indirectly and 200+ directly. However, constant patching has greatly weakened the power of the RPG-7 in Quarantine, though it is still a reliable weapon of choice.

Like the LAW's weak points, it is not an ideal weapon against Snipers, nor is it an easy weapon to use even with its high damage. Because it cannot be outfitted with a scope, it is pretty terrible to aim with at long distance combat. Using it can also leave players vulnerable, by either compromising their position or exposing themselves to accidental splash damage. Likewise, other players can easily pick off any fired shots from a safe distance away, which is one of the best offensive tactics to take down rocket-toting soldiers. Similar to the M32, panicked players may shoot right in front of themselves, causing anyone within range (including the user) to die.

Despite these drawbacks, the RPG-7 is an extremely popular weapon. The higher damage, seemingly better portability, and faster Rate of Fire allows the RPG to excel in moderately-ranged combat. However, the RPG draws criticism for both its drawbacks AND its advantages. Some users note it as "overpowered"; having the capability to kill other players with no effort or skill at all. Former LAW critics now found a new victim upon the RPG-7's release. From time-to-time, people will call the RPG the "Noob Tube" as well, even though the weapons bear no physical resemblance. Strong points of hatred include: Ease of aim (The RPG can hurt/kill anyone within the general area of the enemy player(s) ), ease of kill (incredibly high damage), and a wide blast radius (including splash damage).

For a long time, The RPG-7 was the subject of many gamers before it was released. Many users wanted a new, stronger variant of the LAW; so when Nexon released the RPG, many players were overjoyed. It can be seen in all kinds of maps or gameplay, due to its effectiveness nearly anywhere. There are infamous incidents where rocket-happy players equip the RPG-7, as well as the LAW. With both shoulder-launched weapons, these players entered rooms and created massive chaos, while earning easy kills, simply switching between the two weapons to achieve rapid fire while the other reloads.

The RPG-7 is available for purchase at the rank of Sergeant First Class II. Its base price of 900 GP per day is 100 GP more than the LAW.

Strategies
Many players like to camp with the RPG and wait for another player to wander into their line of sight. This works well when not in close combat. A popular place to do this is in the top of the Alpha side of the cross-spawn vent in Overdose. A player will wait, shoot, then retreat to pull out another gun to finish off the severely injured enemy player.

Another despised tactic is to switch between the RPG and LAW while they reload, making it possible to fire 2 shots quickly, thus making it extremely easy to get massive amounts of kills in one life.

Another way it is used, typically by more skilled players, involves having an RPG and an assault rifle, shooting the RPG (hopefully avoiding self-inflicted damage), then quickly drawing the assault rifle to finish off the enemy player. This works well in Junk Flea and other small, open maps. Also another favorite camping spot with the RPG is behind the map in Grave Digger (as shown below) where they can avoid taking damage from themselves and severely injure the player coming through the door. This also works well if there is another player with the RPG camper able to finish off or injure the player before the RPG camper fire the RPG.

Aim for the floor near the enemies in open spaces because if you miss, the rocket would keep going, and the explosion would NOT kill the target, leaving you defenseless.

Trivia
This weapon first appeared in the Combat Arms Teaser, but with the release of Fireteam, players can encounter enemy bots wearing white shemaghs with RPG-7s on their backs.
 * Just like the LAW, many players dislike the use of this launcher. Often, players will call you a variety of names just because you have/use one.
 * RPG noob
 * LAW noob (despite not using a LAW)
 * Noob-tuber
 * Or simply just "noob"
 * The RPG also often used by players who play Quarantine. It's an effective Infected killer as it deals more damage than the LAW and bypasses the Infected's resistance to bullets. The RPG is often used in conjunction with the LAW to finish off weakened or escaping Infected.
 * Quarantine is one of the few Game Modes that the RPG/LAW will actually be tolerated. However, you may occasionally find a rager who will complain about them anyway.
 * As with all Explosive Projectiles, the rockets can be shot down with a well-placed shot(s). Players with slower computers may have less luck due to lag and off-timing.
 * Unlike the LAW, which makes a slight "air-sucking" sound when launched, the RPG-7 makes a "propulsion" sound.
 * The RPG projectile is reported to actually take a slightly curved path. After recent user-made tests, it has been proven that the RPG does have the capability to take a curved trajectory.
 * The RPG is capable of producing many Accolades with a well placed shot.
 * Both the LAW and RPG-7 have iron sights on them, but they cannot be used.
 * The RPG-7 should have a blackish-blue rocket tracer instead of the orange one in CA.
 * The explosive projectile shot out of the RPG-7 is not actually a green warhead. Due to the laziness of the developers, it is the same explosive projectile that the LAW and M136 Rocket Launcher share.
