Soviet RPG-7 is a knockoff of Nazi Panzerfaust 150

We know the Soviets stole the German Assault Rifle to make their AK-47. They stole the Panzerfaust 150 as well.

Fight me....

RPG-7 entered service before the PzF44 and is a development from the RPG-2, which was pretty much a combination of the Bazooka and the Panzerfaust 150. Firing a rocket out of a tube is pretty much the simplest weapon you can build so of course they all are going to look and work very similar. And having the rocket in the front allows you to have a bigger warhead without needing a bigger and heavier tube.

Yeah, no.

I'd think the guys on this forum wouldn't fall for that "The guns look the same so they must be the same" nonsense, but apparently not.

The action of the AK-47 is completely different.
