Design
The complete round for the OG-7 is designated the OG-7V, being olive drab with black markings. The main difference between the OG-7 and the OG-7M, is the OG-7M uses a heavier propellant charge (4BN17) than the OG-7 (which uses the 4BN42) resulting in a slightly reduced range. The grenade body and fuze upper body are steel. The fuze lower body is aluminum.
Fuze
The fuze is unpainted metal with identification and manufacturing data stamped on the lower body.
Note
What is normally the sustainer motor body on other RPG-7 rockets, on the OG-7 it is actually the HE filled portion, the grenade being propelled to the target by the PG-7P booster motor only.
