Designed by the Soviet Union and first used in 1961, the RPG-7 is now produced in nine countries. Several variants are available, including a paratrooper model and a lighter Chinese version. The RPG-7 has become the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world.Photograph: Ezekiel Kitandwe/US Marines
