Everything is Cooler with Rails - Airtronic's RPG7-USA

RPGs – they're not just for the enemy anymore.

Airtronic USA Inc. took the famed Soviet-made RPG-7 and gave it an American upgrade.

The RPG-7 USA's body is crafted from gun steel instead of Russian "potato sacks and resin" recipe. The company is also working on an ultra-lightweight body made of high-strength polymer.

The low-tech rocket propelled grenade launcher features rails for mounting optics and separates into two pieces for more compact carry. The company is also working on a design that would let you break it into three parts for easier concealment. There is also a modular, M4 stock attachment. The rig costs between $2,200 and $3,000 and does not include a keffiyeh.
