The RPG-7 (Russian: Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт, Routchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomiot; English: Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher) is a Soviet, shoulder-launched, anti-tank, propelled grenade launcher designed in 1961 by Bazalt, and is the successor to the RPG-2. A weapon used for decades by Russia and the Soviet Union, the RPG-7 is manufactured in a number of variants by nine countries, and is now the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world. It saw service during the Vietnam War, and more recently in engagements in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. It is used currently around 40 countries, and it is also popular with paramilitary and guerrilla forces. The RPG-7 and the RPG-2 have shaped charges to increase effectiveness against armor.

It can destroy any light vehicle in 1 rocket, helicopters in 2 rockets, APCs in 3 rockets, and tanks in 4 rockets.

The RPG-7 is issued to Rebel and Insurgent Anti-Tank kits. Compared to its counterparts, the ERYX and the SRAW, the RPG-7 has a much quicker reload speed, but cannot be guided once fired. Therefore, it is best to use the RPG-7 to engage stationary vehicles or turrets, and leading the target for moving targets. The rocket will also drop as it travels, so for distant targets, the player must compensate for this by aiming above the target. Being an unguided weapon, occupants of enemy armour will not be notified of your targeting them, unlike the SRAW and ERYX.

"Russian 85mm Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher used against armor, fortifications and personnel. It is compatible with "tracer dart" aiming systems to increase first round hit probability." — In-game descriptionIn Battlefield: Bad Company 2's singleplayer, the RPG-7 makes a very brief appearance. During the final cutscene of No One Gets Left Behind, when Flynn "Ghost Rider" is attacking members of the Latin American Militia, Kirilenko orders one of the militiamen to shoot an RPG-7 at Flynn, destroying his helicopter. It is never available to the player.

In multiplayer, the RPG-7 AT in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the first rocket launcher issued to the Engineer kit, requiring no experience points to unlock. It inflicts more damage against enemy vehicles than the M2 Carl Gustav in multiplayer, but also travels slower and falls more steeply over long distances. When combined with the extra explosives specialization, the user is given eight rockets in reserve and is able to destroy some buildings without the need for ammo resupply packs. Compatible with the tracer dart targeting system, the RPG-7 inflicts limited splash damage against soft targets.

Also worth noting is that since the Tracer Dart Gun isn't in Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the launcher on helicopters and other mobile targets, all infantry weapon fire has been enhanced to deal damage to the UH-1 Iroquois.

Anti-Vehicle RPG

Damage	300

Ammunition capacity	1 rocket (2 in reserve)
Reload time	6.5 seconds
Rate of fire	45 rounds per minute
Range	Medium
Kit	Engineer

In Battlefield Play4Free the RPG-7 is a gadget available for the Engineer kit, where it is known as the Anti-Vehicle RPG. It is the main anti-tank weapon, excluding stationary ATs, destroying a tank in 3-4 hits. The rocket descends somewhat after being fired, and using the Tracer Dart Gun increases the chances of hitting a target at longer distance, however a more skilled player will find it quicker just to compensate for the warhead dropping by aiming further up. Its ammunition capacity can be increased with the training customization Increase RPG Ammo. The weapon is extremely weak when used against infantry due to the small blast radius. A shot from this weapon will need to directly hit an enemy to kill them, or to hit a surface a maximum of 2m away from the enemy to do any damage

"A widely produced, anti-tank rocket propelled grenade weapon, the RPG-7 has been used in almost all conflicts across all continents since the mid-1960s. Modernized into the RPG-7v2, which is lighter, and more accurate than the original RPG-7 and firing GP-7VL rocket propelled grenades the RPG-7v2 is effective against both fortifications and armor." — Battlelog description

SingleplayerEdit

In the game's Singleplayer mode, the RPG-7V2 is the main anti-tank weapon used by the PLR. It is first encountered in Operation Swordbreaker and can be encountered multiple times during the campaign. It is used by VDV troops during Rock and a Hard Place.

MultiplayerEdit

In Multiplayer mode, the RPG-7V2 is issued to the Russian Engineer kit as their anti-vehicle launcher, and the counterpart is the American SMAW. Both weapons have slightly ballistic trajectories and low splash damage, so the player will require multiple shots to kill uninjured infantry with only splash damage. However, it can kill with one shot if it is direct impact, and disable vehicles in 1-3 direct shots depending on the type of the vehicle and the shot placement. It is most effective when it shoots the back of a tank.
