Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Now this a rare “LAW” type system to come across! This is an East German issue, Soviet Produced RPG-18, which is a Short-Range, Disposable Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher. Much like the American “LAWs”, these were one shot disposable systems and once fired they cannot be reloaded. Measures 41 inches long when open, and 27 when closed.
This example is totally inert and unable to be used as a destructive device. It is in total compliance with the current BATF standards governing inert ordnance.
Not Available For Export.
The RPG-18 Mukha is a Soviet short-range, disposable light anti-tank rocket launcher designed in 1972. The RPG-18 is very similar to the US M72-series LAW anti-tank rocket launcher. The RPG-18 has been succeeded by the RPG-22, a very similar design with a larger warhead.
The RPG-18 fires a 64 mm PG-18 high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead mounted on a small rocket able to engage targets within 200 meters. The warhead self-destructs six seconds after launch, placing a limit on range even if a sight was used that was effective with targets beyond 200 meters. The RPG-18 can penetrate up to 375 mm of conventional armor. However, performance is significantly lessened when the RPG-18 is used against targets protected by HEAT-resistant explosive reactive armour (ERA) or composite armor.
Unlike better known weapons, the RPG-18 requires only one operator because it is not reloadable. Assistant grenadiers are used to help reload the RPG-2, RPG-7 and RPG-16.
A lovely example ready for further research and display.
