Answering the Whatzis...

Didja know that HomefrontSix can toss large rocks into the central US from that island in the Pacific she lives on?

I've been duckin' 'em all week, as her annoyance with me grows over my laggardly tidying up of that loose end.

Those of you who said weapon barrel were correct, as far as that aspect went.

No one was even close on *which* weapon barrel.

And that was because I showed you an aspect of it that is usually hidden from view.

And I'm not going to answer it yet. Because I have faith in you. I know you can get this, complete.

C'mon, you know what this is!

So, go for it.

There's still one metaphoric wing left, Lia.

Oh, that would be *this* Whatzis.

Almost looks like a 1903 Springfield sight on the chamber area, but what looks like a bedding lug isn't very 1903-ish... So I'll go out on a limb and say it's a Mauser variant, maybe with a Manlicher stock to explain that extra hardware on the barrel.

This is a RPG-7 close-up view, the part in the upper left corner is the trigger group (typical silver-ish finish) with the safety in view. The metal band in the middle is one of the 2 metal rings that secures the rear sight of the RPG-7 to the launcher body. The rear sight can be seen in the lower right corner, slighly off-centered to help right handed shooters. (the RPG7 isnt ambidextrous) The sling visible under is of the russian Canvas type and has the same rivets that AK Series weapons use. The small part visible at the lower left is probably the "rear" grip.

Yes, and no. We're not exactly sure what its designation is, actually. As we'll show in a bit, and perhaps some of you smart guys will have an answer. But constructively - yes. It *is* an RPG-7. A -7, not the much more commonly seen RPG-7V, which has provision for the optical sight. This launcher does not.
