Welcome to our Weapon Legends content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems, and we tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

    Even when more deadly shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons like the RPG-29 were widely used, it still could not completely replace the RPG-7, shows how the simplicity and convenience of the RPG-7 has built up its icon over the years. Equipping it with better warheads, using smarter and unique tactics, the RPG-7 will still be as deadly as it was when it first appeared 70 years ago.

    Even with the "newer" warheads like the tandem and thermobaric munitions, it really is showing it's age. The tandem round also has a stupidly low muzzle velocity and very high muzzle drop so you'll be quite lucky to hit an enemy vehicle even 200 meters away. The only reason the rpg 7 is still widely used is because its cheap and theres a lot of old rounds in circulation that poor nations or rebel groups would gladly accept. For modern armies, specially infantry, that want a fighting chance against peer to peer armor? Not a chance.

    In Afghanistan, the mujahedin used it as an artillery piece. Basically, they used the self-destruct mechanism in it.

    So I think you're making a mistake. There's the zpu which mounts 1-4 KPV hmg 14.5x114mm. Then there's the ZU-23 which is based on the ZPU carriage. It's similar but instead it mounts the 2A14 or 2A14M autocannons chambered in 23x152mm. Most of what you said is true. Except the ZPU doesn't penetrate 30mm steel. I'm not even sure the ZU-23 does. And Shilka mounts the ZU-23. Other than that I think you're good.

    Become obsolete in anti tank aren’t all the bad thing for RPG-7 . It also free RPG-7 from old duty and make opportunity to other roles like mobility artillery. During Viet Nam war ,all RPG’s ammunition inside North VN’s armory were HEAT rounds. While it performed excellent at anti tank job , it is far less effective than M79 in anti infantry job . Nowadays people bring less HEAT rounds and more anti personnel rounds like thermobaric or fragment ,which is a good sight for future of RPG-7
