Description
This display set includes one original military carrying backpack, three restored inert PG-2 anti-tank projectiles, and three inert replica expulsion charges.
The backpack was designed to carry three PG-2 rounds for the RPG-2 launcher. Together, these pieces show how an RPG-2 team carried additional ammunition in the field.
The projectiles and expulsion charges are completely inert. They contain no explosives, propellant, or live primers and cannot be fired.
What Is Included
- One original three-round military carrying backpack
- Three restored inert PG-2 HEAT projectiles
- Three inert replica expulsion charges
Original PG-2 Components
Each restored projectile includes:
- Original fin adapter
- Original folding-fin section
Replica Components
Each restored projectile also includes:

The new components were reproduced from original PG-2 parts to maintain the correct size, shape, and military appearance.
PG-2 and RPG-2 History
The PG-2 was a high-explosive anti-tank projectile used with the Soviet RPG-2 launcher. Developed after World War II, the RPG-2 was used by the Soviet Union and numerous other countries.
A live PG-2 used a shaped-charge warhead against armored vehicles. A separate expulsion charge launched the projectile from the tube, and its folding fins opened after launch.
The RPG-2 saw use during the Cold War and Vietnam War and influenced the development of the later RPG-7 launcher.
Original Carrying Backpack
The original backpack holds all three projectiles together, creating a complete field-style display rather than a group of loose components.
Condition and Inert Status
The backpack is an original military item. The three projectiles have been restored using original fin components and accurately reproduced new parts.
The projectiles and expulsion charges are intended solely for display, study, and collection. The RPG-2 launcher shown in reference pictures is not included.
