Posted 23 Jul 2019 Managed to test fire my RPG-2 last Saturday. Very pleased with the results. First round was from a test stand and triggered with a long lanyard. Second round was shoulder fired and may still be circling the earth,lol. It disappeared over the top of some tall trees which were 300 yds away while still on a flat trajectory!. Amazing thing about it is I felt absolutely nothing except for smoke fore and aft. Truly recoiless! Rifle is on a Form1 and classed as a DD. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 23 Jul 2019 Very cool! Did you manufacture the rockets? What kind of propellant? -- Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Jul 2019 I made the expelling charges and the tube. The "rockets" are surplus. For the propellant, I used Goex Cannon grade and followed the original construction design. Sorry about MO's laws this the funnest thing I've done in years. Oh, and 60 mm mortar too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 Jul 2019 It rained most of the day so I didn't really get a chance to use it. Lotys of cleaning to do for very little shooting. Last time I used it having lots of trouble with the drum magazine. Fortunately another shooter there has lots of experience with all things German and and gave me an armorer's clinic about it!

Posted 9 Aug 2019 Who reactivated your tube? I bought an RPG2 a while back with bars welded in the tubes. Trigger mechanism is still intact. I just don’t know a good person to do the welding, and that’s one job I wouldn’t want done poorly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Aug 2019 The tube is a new one I made myself. I decided not to reweld for various reasons. Mostly the obvious ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Sep 2019 Live Fire video, inert round. see it at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 17 Sep 2019 Love the idea and the execution! Any thoughts on why one could not do the same thing for the rpg7? Also, how difficult of a project was it to do? For the DD registry, where did you end up serializing it, the tube? As for the last video, how many shots before you were confident enough to shoulder it? Cheers!

Posted 7 Oct 2019 I’ve got this project planned for myself as well. I’m not real clear on how to build the propellant charges. Any advice or reading material you could provide? I’d L-O-V-E, to not blow myself up =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 Jan 2020 Did you have the Gunbroker auction for one of your rpg-2 tubes? I want to buy one $$$$ or at least get the prints for building one myself please $$$$. I’d really like to get a rpg-7 tube or specs for one of those too if you could help me out $$$$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
