I was not aware of the training round for the RPG-7, and I think that is a pretty nifty way to do it.

I don't think I can embed the video, you'll have to go to Forgotten Weapons to see it. Video is 13:34.

That's an interesting video. Thanks for posting it.

It is one of the simplest to use in its class. A farmer from Siberia can learn how to use it in a day. It is like the anti-armored-vehicile' AK
The optical site is very simple to use and has tank-size or (any 9ft high target) range estimate.

The yellow practice round is really clever using a 7.62 round configured to have the same ballistics as the RPG.

AndyC, I was thinking of you when I watched this and figured you could give us a tutorial.

They flinch because of the "boom" with no hearing protection.

Flinching, what flinching.
