RPG-7
The RPG-7 (Russian: Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт – Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, English: Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher) is a portable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Originally made by the Soviet Union, it is now manufactured by the Russian company Bazalt. The English-language term "rocket-propelled grenade", though frequently encountered and reasonably descriptive, is a backronym for "RPG" and not based on a literal translation. The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in several variants by nine countries. It is popular with irregular and guerrilla forces. The RPG has been used in almost all conflicts across all continents since the mid-1960s from the Vietnam War to the early 2010s War in Afghanistan.

For a while now I've wanted to try putting the warhead of the older brickarms RPG on the newer RPG-7, I finally decided on it while redoing an older painted RPG-7 from a few years ago.
While it would've been a good idea to try out the removable warhead design I've seen so many people doing, this was not such case. I just took the original warhead and made it into a prop-piece so to speak.
While I was at it, I wanted to try out adding some details to the warhead. Originally I got the idea from SpartanBricks on his Joker figure from a few months back. Of course I didn't entirely base it off his and instead went for the shark nose-art look. Turned out pretty damn good all on it's own if I do say so.
Also added the hollow back-blast tube. Not entirely centred though, I might try to fix that.
