Original Note:
This RPG-7 lacks the firing pin assembly above the hammer, which is ground off and welded shut while decommissioning. The ammunition lacks a booster charge. https://axolotlarms.com/product/rpg-7-inert/ https://x.com/Wild_Arms_RandD/status/1885772891855421468 As it can no longer "expel a projectile by the action of an explosive," it isn't an ATF-regulated "firearm." https://web.archive.org/web/20250129212123/https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921#:~:text=The%20term%20%E2%80%9Cfirearm%E2%80%9D%20means%20(A)%20any%20weapon%20(including%20a%20starter%20gun)%20which%20will%20or%20is%20designed%20to%20or%20may%20readily%20be%20converted%20to%20expel%20a%20projectile%20by%20the%20action%20of%20an%20explosive https://web.archive.org/web/20250118134934/https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/undefined/atf-national-firearms-act-handbook-chapter-2/download#page=14
