Powerful. Cheap. Simple. Robust. The RPG-7 is undoubtedly the most famous anti-tank rocket launcher ever devised since its introduction in 1961. It remains in production with more than 9 million units produced to date. The RPG-7 continues to serve with over 40 countries, plus a large number of irregular military groups.
The RPG-7, which stands for the Russian Ruchnoy Protivotankovvy Granatomyot or hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher (although it is more frequently called a “Rocket Propelled Grenade” or "RPG"), is a further development of the 1949 RPG-2, itself based on the World War II German Panzerfaust and US Bazooka. Its chief improvements over the RPG-2 are much-improved range and increased armor penetration. http://www.military-today.com/firearms/rpg_7.htm
