[edit] Price Quote on RPG-29 launcher and round
Where does the pricing information come from?
- I edited the part about how the container mates to the launcher, but did not edit, add or delete any part concerning the price. If the price quotes is correct it is one of the cheapest antiarmor weapons on the market. For example the USMC SMAW (based on the Israeli B-300) has an antiarmor round the HEAA which is quoted as costing $16,000 to $25,000 per round!!!! - Jack E. Hammond
- I have a suspicion that the price quoted may be what the weapon actually fetches in a particular context, for example when being bought and sold on the black market in Iraq. The actual development/manufacturing cost is probably a lot higher, although no doubt still a lot less than the likes of the Javelin. :) Riddley 16:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Remember, this is a Russian weapon, not American... they like cheap and simple, and don't pay $1000 for toilet seats. I can easily believe the prices listed on the page. Mark Grant 16:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed the price, since nobody has come up with a source for it - and it has been tagged for some time - see WP:VERIFY. Megapixie 22:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I checked the links listed on the page and didn't find any information there, so it's probably worth removing. Mark Grant 22:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question
Is the RPG 29 reloadable?
- Yes, the rocket is breech loaded, i.e. slid into the launch tube from the rear. Riddley 02:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
