This is a great Vietnam War-era \u003cb\u003eExplosive Ordnance Disposal training projectile representing the PG-2 anti-tank grenade used with the Soviet RPG-2 launcher\u003c\/b\u003e. The trainer is constructed primarily from solid resin with metal tailfins, making it a completely inert training and display piece. It measures approximately \u003cb\u003e19 inches long\u003c\/b\u003e and retains nearly all of the paint applied during its service as an EOD instructional aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are NOT considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is totally inert. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RPG-2 is a man-portable, shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon that was designed in the Soviet Union. It was the first successful anti-tank weapon of its type, being a successor to the earlier and unsuccessful rocket-propelled grenade RPG-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RPG-2 offered better range and armor penetration, making it useful against late and post-World War II tanks, in contrast to the RPG-1 that had only marginal utility. The basic design and layout was further upgraded to produce the ubiquitous RPG-7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rocket measures approximately 19” and retains nearly all original paint from when the EOD team using this example employed it for training purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is particularly noteworthy as a \u003cb\u003epurpose-made EOD recognition or training representation of the PG-2 projectile\u003c\/b\u003e, retaining its metal fin assembly and wartime-era training finish. Its solid resin construction provides a clear distinction from an original live or subsequently demilitarized munition while preserving the external form used to train personnel in the identification of hostile anti-tank ordnance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921183727685,"sku":"ONSV26MSB044","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV26MSB044__01.jpg?v=1790953959","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-vietnam-war-era-explosive-ordnance-disposal-eod-team-inert-rpg-2-rocket-resin-construction-with-metal-tailfins","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
