It is a relatively simple-to-use launcher that can be brought to bear against both vehicles and infantry. The launcher's optical sight cannot be manually zeroed.Ī general-purpose shoulder-fired launcher, the RPG-42 is the primary armament of CSAT medium anti-tank weapons teams. It has a built-in night vision sight with ballistic stadia accurate at ranges of up to 500 metres, with a magnification strength of 2x.
It can be loaded with either 105 mm PG-42V high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) or 72 mm TBG-42V high-explosive (HE) grenades with the former designed for use in taking out light/medium armoured vehicles and the latter for large groups of infantry. The RPG-42 is a portable, recoilless, unguided, shoulder-launched, rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
