When is that book coming out?

Classic. As soon as the lawyers stop acting silly and I can find the time to route the three remaining chapters out for vetting. Life was certainly more fun when I was a Gunny...

Are you interested in proofing a Chapter?

MC Gunner, I believe the terms "booster charge" and "propellant charge" are interchangeable for the rear attachment. The middle part of a 3-part PG-7 rocket is the "rocket motor". The OG-7 antipersonnel round seems to not include the motor with the nozzle block, just the body and the propellant/booster charge. The KO-7V Hollow Charge Fragmentation Round is the variation of the OG-7 rocket that has the motor included. Correct me if I am wrong?

Bunker Dog, you are correct.

The KO-7V (I only knew it as KO-7 only so far) has the regular motor and fin section with a S-5KO warhead (from the 57mm aircraft rocket). This is a Bulgarian development - or rather a combination of already existing components than a development.

Bunker Dog,

OED is of course, spot-on. Sorry for the long delay, I have been busy.

The latest development of the KO-7V (Warhead + PG-7D Sustainment charge = KO-7, KO-7 + PG-7P (or similar) Propelling charge = KO-7V) is known as the KO-7VMZ:

(Don't let the old web-page name confuse you, VMZ never renamed it after they took the AT-3 info off of it.)

I will dig up the specifics on the round later this weekend for you if you want.

Best regards
Gunner
