Airtronic USA has introduced a lightweight version of their RPG-7 launcher. The MK777 weighs just 7.7 lbs, about half the weight of their other RPG-7 launcher, the Airtronic RPG-7(USA).

The launcher has a metal liner covered with a carbon composite wrap manufactured by ATK. It is compatible with RPG-7 ammunition.

    Dear friends,
    the grenade launcher specified here is a clone of the best Russian grenade launcher RPG-7 created by Russian designers in 1957. At present Russian tactical grenade launcher RPG-7 is the best in a class, including on an efficiency and cost combination. Modern Russian grenade launcher RPG-7 can shoot various ammunition, including thermobaric and tandem-shape granades, capable to punch an armor of the advanced tanks.

      @Tony Actually, as of 5/17/2012, Airtronic USA has converted that chapter 7 into a chapter 11. From the information I have acquired, business could not have been better!

    There’s a new American made RPG-7 at
    http://www.airtronic.net/co...

    IT WOULD BE NICE TO LOAD THE BULGARIAN GTB-7BG INTO YOUR AMERICAN VERSION OF THE RPG THEN SELL IT FOR LESS THAN $1500 SO IT WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF THE ARMT AT4 FOR IMMEDIATE USE IN AFGHANISTAN AND VMZ IS HIGHLY MOTIVATED TO MAKE A DEAL - NOW.

    This AMERICAN RPG-7 could fire GTB-7BG

    JUST CALL IT THE BETTER EXIT STRADEGY
