Combat prototype

The RPG-18 Fly grenade launcher can be easily found in the LASERWAR online shop. To be more precise, its laser tag version, Thunder RPG-22L, EXTRA series. Its legendary predecessor dates back to the late 1960s and was adopted into service 12 years later.

Characteristics of design

At first glance, the "cannon" dimensions are striking. The model is 75 cm long, but the Thunder weighs one 1.5 kg. The grenade launcher is made of glass fabric impregnated with varnish. The barrel is fitted sighting equipment, a trigger and power socket. The activation is performed by raising the safety catch, the shot is fired after the trigger is pulled.

The principle of one-shot use is retained in the laser tag version. The grenade launcher has a "detonation" function - pressing the firing button triggers the IR pulse a second later.
