The RPG-7 , or rocket propelled grenade launcher system (In Russian :  ???-7 / ?????????? ??????????????? ?????????? 7) that was designed in the Soviet Union in 1961. It is basically a long tube that fires a shaped charge warhead to punch through armor. A shaped charge is an explosive that is shaped in a way ( usually a cone ) that the resulting explosion will create a molten hot dart that will punch through thick metal. This system combined with the assistance of  a rocket motor makes the RPG-7 one of the biggest threats to a tank on the battlefield. Its so effective it can still take out even the most modern tanks including the M1 Abrams tank.
