PA bidding out 6,427 rounds of HE RPG-7 Ammunition

The Philippine Army (PA) is bidding out this month (September 2019) 6,427 rounds of brand new High Explosive (HE) ammunition for its RPG-7 weapons with a budget of Php 8,000 for each round.

The RPG-7 HE ammo is more powerful than the 40 x 46 mm ammunition used on launchers like the M203. The 40 x 46 mm ammo only has around 31 g of explosive filler while an RPG-7 ammo usually has around 210 g of the same, or more than six times more.

Put it another way, each RPG-7 HE ammo is roughly equivalent to at least six 40 x 46 mm ammunition.
