RPG-7 - Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/AhoyYT Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy The RPG-7 is a single shot weapon, supplied with two rockets, and is unlocked at level 65. The 'Ruchnoy Protivo-tankovyy Granato-myot', or RPG -7, which translates as 'hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher' is a widely produced shoulder-launched anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade. It was first produced in the former Soviet Union, now Russia, and first saw service in 1961. The launcher is a simple device; Essentially a 40 millimetre tube with a firing mechanism. The ammunition is the more essential part of the weapon, with a 85mm high explosive shaped charge warhead with an impact fuze designed to penetrate armoured targets. There exists a number of ammunition types available for the RPG-7 - and the variant depicted in game is a conventional High Explosive Anti Tank round, although it has characteristics that better match the anti-personnel fragmentation grenade. In-game, the RPG-7 handles most like the AT-4, although it lacks a lock-on ability. The sights must be raised to fire, and upon firing the rocket will fly directly towards your target - as opposed to the M203 or Thumper, which take a parabolic trajectory. The iron sights are bulky and obtrusive, but fine aiming isn't too important with the RPG - the rockets are prone to veering off course, so the long-range accuracy of the weapon leaves much to be desired. You can employ the RPG-7 as an anti-air weapon, and is most effective against slower-moving, low flying killstreaks such as the harrier or pavelow. As the RPG is unguided you don't have to worry about flares. The Stinger would be a better choice thanks to the lock-on and one-hit kill, but if the RPGs are all you have available it's much better than nothing. One missile won't destroy most killstreaks - but the two rockets you're supplied with will. Two rockets means you get double the firepower of the AT-4 - which is particularly useful when employ
