The Front Sight and
Barrel Notch
The front sight of the RPG-2 is a simple stamped metal
leaf that is flipped up when the weapon is to be aimed and fired.
The picture at right shows the sight in the down position. Below you
can see the sight in the up position.
When loaded the PG-2 round is rotated into place.
To properly line the primer of the rocket motor with the striker it is
fitted into this notch at the end of the barrel. PG-2 rounds have a
metal pin to enable this. Both the notch and pin can be seen at the
bottom right.
