It has an effective range of 300 metres and a maximum of 500 metres. Note that the PG-7VL has even less explosive filling than the PG-7V, so it does very little explosive damage and has a relatively tiny splash radius. However, it is still mostly useful against light and medium armoured vehicles only, and can only inflict moderate damage if a hit is scored on the rear of MBTs. It is very similar to the basic PG-7V grenade in terms of performance and weighs the same but has increased penetration against armoured vehicles. It is ideal for use against light vehicles such as the HMMWV or LAV-25, but is practically useless against heavily armoured vehicles such as the M1A1 Main Battle Tank.Īntiquated Soviet-era tanks like the T-34 or the T-55 can also be penetrated with this grenade, though modern Infantry Fighting Vehicles such as the M2A3 Bradley will be able to resist a few direct hits so as long as they are not struck in the rear. The PG-7V uses a shaped charge warhead which grants it armour piercing capabilities. With the sole exception of the PG-7VR, all other grenades occupy two inventory slots: Each of them have varying levels of armour penetration (in the case of the anti-vehicle rounds) and explosive power. The ArmA 2 RPG-7V is unique for being able to utilise four different types of grenades.
It is best reserved for Armoured Personnel Carriers like the Stryker or unarmoured trucks due to its small blast radius and short range/underwhelming performance. The PG-7V's warhead is more powerful than the American M136 and also flies slightly faster (though not by much).
Uses a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead. Both require two inventory slots to carry: The RPG-7V can load two types of grenades. It cannot be fitted with optics and only relies on a traditional ironsight.ĭespite being the sole AT launcher available to SLA forces, the only real drawback the RPG-7V has is that because it lacks any kind of guidance for its munitions or magnified optics, it cannot be used against targets beyond 300 metres (even though it has a theoretical maximum range of 500 metres).īeyond that distance, hitting a target with any degree of precision requires a lot of practice to achieve (and a shred of luck as well) simply due to the unpredictable flight trajectory of the grenades. Both have the same effective ranges only the PG-7VR has a higher damage output difference. It is capable of being loaded with two types of grenade rounds: the regular PG-7V and the larger PG-7VR. The RPG-7V is a portable, reusable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The RPG-7V is used exclusively by the SLA in ArmA: Armed Assault.
