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 five Launchers that are available for purchase, the other four being the LAW, M79, MZP-1 and XM25 CDTE. Also the Seasonal Launcher the Autumn Law can be included in this category

Like the LAW, M79, MZP-1 and XM25 CDTE, 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. 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. It cannot be outfitted with a scope, making it hard to aim in long distances. Likewise, other players can easily pick off any fired shots from a safe distance away.

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 moderate-ranged combat. The rate of fire of the RPG is also much quicker than the LAW's, and combined with its quick reload, you can easily fire back-to-back shots.

Constant patching has greatly weakened the power of the RPG-7 in Quarantine, dealing about 80 damage.

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.
 * 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 DOES NOT CURVE. After users performed tests, it was proven that the RPG does not have the capability to take a curved trajectory.
 * Both the LAW and RPG-7 have iron sights on them, but they cannot be used.
 * The explosive projectile shot out of the RPG-7 is not actually a green warhead. Due to the inaccurate work of the developers, it is the same explosive projectile that the LAW and M136 Rocket Launcher share.
 * For some unknown reason, the RPG-7 will not show on a player's profile in the weapon statistics, meaning that even though you get kills with it, it won't show. It does, however, show in the overall specific weapon player rankings.
 * As of the 3/30/12 patch the RPG-7 can be seen on the main patch in the "hot items" box with a scope attached.
 * It was on sale for 38,880 GP / 90 Days (20% Off) during the 2nd Annual Buzzing Bullets Sale.
