Tubegunner Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpy Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Man you are so lucky!!! I unforcantly live in Missouri and DD is the only thing I can’t have I’d love to have one of these! If you don’t mind how much did you pay for one ? In Missouri I can own anything I want just not DDs which suck I want a 20mm lahti gun a 75mm m20 recoilless rifle and a rpg honesty looking at getting my ffl just so I can own them. Man that rpg is badass I want one hahaha congrats man!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnh Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Very cool! Did you manufacture the rockets? What kind of propellant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubegunner Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 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!

mike todd Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 WHATS UP WITH THE MG-15 in the pics? having trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubegunner Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 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!

Armydoc0115 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubegunner Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 The tube is a new one I made myself. I decided not to reweld for various reasons. Mostly the obvious ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubegunner Posted September 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Live Fire video, inert round. see it at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDrDr Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger70rt Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjsgunner Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Did you have the Gunbroker auction for one of your rpg-2 tubes? I want to buy one $$$$ or at least get the prints for building one myself please $$$$. I’d really like to get a rpg-7 tube or specs for one of those too if you could help me out $$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Tubegunner , do you have or are you aware of anything similar for the RPG7? Aaron - Mohnton, Pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 That would be amazing to shoot. I collect a few inert rocket launchers, but haven't gotten the RPGs yet. one day... but to shoot a round out of one would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
