On a oldtimer spare market close to Berlin I got this nice section from a PG-7 roket. Nice conditioin, complete and good work. For sure made for military school.
Now, aren't these called OG-7's? I do know they are AP, but what I don't see in your "cut away" is if it has any inner fragmentation pattern to make it anti-personel. Is there any tube8? Also, I believe it is indeed Bulgarian made because of the concentric, double rings with the factory number inside those rings. Back during the cold War and even today, Bulgaria was the the one country that was indeed the country noted for its extensive technology. Also, it was the one Warsaw Pack Country known for its innovative ideas. Thus, I do really believe they were the best at what they did and still do today. Just my $0.02 worth of opinion.
thanks for showing me that page. It really helps. I just still have that one question. Where is that round's fragmentation sleeve or internal scoring or what. The page shows the OG-7V to have concentric circles around most of the body. I cannot find them anywhere in Tube8's pictures.
I ask that because the one I have sitting in front of me is clearly marked OG-7V and while it is not a cut-away is from what I can tell, the same as the one he has shown in his picture.
Sorry, I knew bad. Your know right, Eodtek.
Russian made OG-7V grenades have frag-rings on the body and fuzed with GO-2 fuze, and the Bulgarian OG-7V and OG-7VM doesnt have frag-rings (you can see the pics) and both fuzed with O-4M fuze. The difference between the Bulgarian OG-7V and OG-7VM the propelling charge.
Here are some photos of items I came across. Please correct me if I am wrong, I'm no expert on this stuff.
1. Any reason why the rear packing pieces are different colours?
2. PG7M + standard PG7?
3. OG7 fuzed 04M + PG7M?
4. Fuze 04M on OG7 in photo 3?
5. Standard PG7 and radiograph of same, circa 1980.
On the second photo the bottom item is not a PG-7, its the Chinese bounding version - don't remember the nomenclature at the moment. Look closely you'll see the PD fuze and the collar to prevent ground penetration. A small charge kicks the warhead back into the air, body is a frag matrix rather than HEAT.
