You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''RPG-2''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: РПГ-2, Ручной противотанковый гранатомёт, ''Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot''; English: "hand-held antitank grenade launcher") is a man-portable, [[Shoulder-fired missile|shoulder-fired]] [[anti-tank weapon]] that was designed in the [[Soviet Union]]. It was the first successful anti-tank weapon of its type, being a successor to the earlier and unsuccessful [[rocket-propelled grenade]] [[RPG-1]].

The RPG-2 offered better range and armor penetration, making it useful against late and post-World War II tanks, in contrast to the RPG-1 that had only marginal utility. The basic design and layout was further upgraded to produce the ubiquitous [[RPG-7]].

==History==
Studying German and US anti-tank rocket designs, in 1944 the Soviets began development of the [[RPG-1]] with the goal of combining the best features of the German ''[[Panzerfaust]]'' single shot recoilless weapon with the US [[Bazooka]] rocket launcher. Propelled by a 30&nbsp;mm cartridge, the ((convert|70|mm|abbr=on)) [[high-explosive anti-tank]] (HEAT) [[shaped charge]] round could penetrate about ((convert|150|mm|abbr=on)) of homogeneous armour.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=16))

Early testing revealed several minor problems, but, by the time these were being solved, 150&nbsp;mm of penetration was no longer considered effective against modern tanks, even late-war designs like the [[Panther tank|Panther]]. The warhead was already straining the abilities of the cartridge and its range was already considered too low.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=16)) Modifications to improve this began, but in 1947 the RPG-2 program began as a parallel project. Development of the RPG-2 was carried out by the GSKB-30 design bureau, originally part of the [[Commissariat for Munitions]], but in the post-war period handed to the [[Ministry of Agriculture and Food (Soviet Union)|Ministry of Agriculture]] to help design farm equipment.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=17))

The main difference in performance between the two were due to size. The RPG-2 used a custom designed ((convert|40|mm|abbr=on)) cartridge to provide much greater power, and the warhead enlarged to ((convert|80|mm|abbr=on)). This improved penetration to ((convert|180|mm|abbr=on)), which allowed it to penetrate the frontal armor of all but the very heaviest tanks, and the side and rear armor of any tank. The larger cartridge gave the PG-2 warhead slightly better practical range as well, about ((convert|150|m|abbr=on)) against stationary targets.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=17))

The design of the PG-2 differed considerably from that of the PG-1 of the RPG-1. The rear section of the PG-1 consisted of a central tube holding the propelling charge, and a second tube around this carrying the fins. When the round was inserted into the launcher, the second tube was outside the launcher tube, requiring the front of the launcher to be free of any fittings. The PG-2 replaced the fins with small metal leaves attached to the inner tube, and eliminated the outer tube found on the PG-1. This allowed the entire propellant section to be inserted into the launcher, which in turn allowed the sights and trigger assembly to be mounted right at the front of the launcher. This slightly reduced the length compared to the RPG-1, made the entire assembly more robust, and allowed the use of conventional fore-and-aft sights.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=17))

The new design was such an improvement on the earlier design that development of the RPG-1 ended in 1948. The first production versions of the RPG-2 entered service with the Soviet Army's infantry squads in 1954.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=19)) Although the RPG-2 could be operated by one man, standard military practice called for a two-man crew: a grenadier carrying a [[Stechkin automatic pistol|Stechkin APS]], the launcher and a purpose-built backpack containing three grenades and an assistant armed with a rifle and carrying another three-grenade backpack.  ((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=17))

In 1957, the launcher was adapted to be able to mount the NSP-2 [[infrared]] (IR) night-sight system, which consisted of an IR spotlight and a detector, together weighing (with batteries) ((convert|6|kg|lboz|abbr=on)). The NSP-2 was usable out to ((convert|150|-|200|m)) under good conditions. When fitted with the NSP-2, the launcher became known as the RPG-2N.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=20))

Widely distributed to allies of the Soviet Union, it was also produced under license by China, [[North Vietnam]] and [[North Korea]]. Used against the [[U.S. military]] in the [[Vietnam War]], its Vietnamese variants were called the '''B40''' (''Ba Do Ka'' - "Bazooka 40mm") and '''B50'''.((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=19)) B50 was B40 using Chinese Type 50 HEAT warhead (Chinese version of PG-2).((sfn|Rottman|2010|p=40-41))

The RPG-2 anti tank grenade launcher is a simple 40 millimeter steel tube<ref name="SASRPG2">((Cite web |url=http://www.smallarmssurvey.org/fileadmin/docs/Weapons_and_Markets/Tools/Weapons_ID_DB/SAS_weapons-rocket-launchers-RPG2.pdf |title=RPG-2 Weapons identification sheet |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918144700/http://www.smallarmssurvey.org/fileadmin/docs/Weapons_and_Markets/Tools/Weapons_ID_DB/SAS_weapons-rocket-launchers-RPG2.pdf |archive-date=18 September 2013 |url-status=dead))</ref> into which the PG-2 grenade is fitted. The tailboom of the grenade inserts into the launcher. The diameter of the PG-2 warhead is 80mm. The center section of the tube has a thin wooden covering to protect the user from the heat generated by the grenade launch. The wooden covering also makes using the weapon in extreme cold conditions easier.

The total length of the weapon with a grenade fitted was 120 centimeters (47&nbsp;inches) and it weighed 4.48 [[kilogram]]s (9.8 [[pound (mass)|pounds]]). Only a simple [[iron sight]] was provided for aiming.

Only one type of grenade, the PG-2 [[high-explosive anti-tank]] (HEAT), was used in the RPG-2. The [[propellant]], consisting of granulated powder was in a rolled cardboard case treated with wax that had to be attached to the grenade before loading. Once attached to the propellant charge, the grenade was inserted into the smooth-bore launcher from the front. A tab on the body of the grenade indexes in a notch cut in the tube so that the primer in the propelling charge aligns with the firing pin and hammer mechanism.

To fire the RPG-2, the grenadier cocked an external hammer with his thumb, aimed, and pulled the trigger to fire. Upon launch, six stabilizer fins unfolded from the grenade.

The weapon was accurate, depending on the soldier's experience, against stationary targets up to ((convert|150|m|abbr=on)) and against moving targets at ranges of less than ((convert|100|m|abbr=on)). It had a muzzle velocity of ((convert|84|m/s|abbr=on)) and could penetrate armor up to ((convert|180|mm|abbr=on)) thick.
