Это не прикол?

>Вот эта статья.

>Airtronic is producing its RPG-7 (USA) with ordnance-grade steel that is used to make gun barrels,

>and Walter told Jane's that this material will allow the company's weapon to fire at least - and possibly much more than - 1,000 rounds.

>Airtronic's launcher integrates a 'Picatinny' rail system that can mount an array of optical sights, aiming lasers or ballistic-compensation sights.

>According to Airtronic Chief Executive Officer Merriellyn Kett, the launchers can be sold for USD1,640 when purchased in 10,000-unit quantities.

>Also in the works is a lightweight RPG system, for which Airtronic is teaming with munitions giant ATK.

>They plan to unveil a model of a new 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) launcher, the RPG-7 (Elite),

>In order to increase its accuracy, the 'Elite' variant will be built with a rifled tube and double-action trigger.
>The rocket fins will be updated as well.

>A man-safe rocket will be Airtronic's next development effort because some of the currently produced explosives do not comply with US regulations, because they tend to leak!!!

>Further, currently fielded RPG rounds generate a significant 'backblast' out of the barrel's back end, and Airtronic is examining rocket technology that could mitigate this effect so the weapon could be fired indoors or in close proximity to friendly troops.
