RPG-7V2

The RPG-7V2 ( *РПГ-7, Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт*) is a Soviet rocket launcher. It can be purchased for 320,000 Credits on PC and 1000 gold on mobile, and fires a single rocket at a time. Although it may seem like a powerful weapon, it is commonly disliked by Bullet Force players due to the severe unbalance of pros and cons, as can be seen on plenty of game chat and the Discord server.

## Pros

* Insta-kill damage if you hit someone directly
* Splash damage can take out multiple enemies at once
* Requires little to some skill to use on short-range maps such as Office and Amusement
* Tight crosshairs, resulting in good hip fire
* (Style points) Intimidating noise when fired

## Cons

* After the April 2021 update, the RPG-7V2's splash damage was increased, but still sadly lacking, as it deals a lot less area damage than one would expect from an RPG.
* Is difficult to aim due to confusing iron sights (a rectangular sight with a sight blade inside). Where you actually aim is right above the top of the right corner of the rectangle)
* Rockets are very slow, making it easy for users to frequently miss shots. Due to slow rocket speed, this weapon is only decent at short ranges and there are many other effective short-range weapons to use like SMGs and Shotguns, and using this at longer ranges would mostly be blind firing
* Reloads very slowly due to having to put in a new rocket in each time, which allows enemies to get hits
* It is very loud which can easily give away your location
* Like all explosives, can severely damage the player if they fire and are much too close to the target
* It comes with only a few rounds
* Price is just way too much for such an underpowered gun
* As a gold gun, it is banned in tournaments, ranked matches and scrimmages, even though it is a hard-to-use weapon
* Very low running speed when holding
* Cons severely outweigh pros (9 to 4 excluding this one and style points)

## Tips

Since this weapon features splash damage, firing below a group of enemy's feet or at an object close to take them all out at once.

## If it were to be balanced

Like the Lewis Gun, this weapon needs to be changed, so that the weapon can suit to player's needs.

* A faster reloading time, at least 0.6 seconds faster than the current reloading time.
* Iron sights changed so that they won't be misleading.
* An optic sight added to make aiming easier. Real-life RPGs use PGO-7 sights to aim at targets.
* Way increased area damage, especially in PC version. It should have splash damage similar to a grenade.
* Significantly faster rocket speed.

## Trivia

* Even though the icon of this weapon shows an RPG with a PGO-7 sight, the in-game model doesn't have options to attach one.
* This weapon is one of the most disliked weapons in the game.
* After firing, if you switch from your RPG to your secondary and back to your primary before the reloading animation is complete, a loaded warhead will appear at the front of your RPG, tricking you into thinking your weapon is already loaded. The weapon is NOT actually loaded, and if you click the fire button, the warhead will disappear and your player will reload the weapon again.
* In real life, this weapon's warhead is made so that it explodes after a short while after firing. This is called airbursting and this tactic is being used by insurgents trying to shoot down aircraft.
* In real life, the RPG-7V2 features a bipod.
