1. make both a static version, like the guns with the tripods, and technical mounted versions.
2. ive read on wikipedia that the spg9 uses the same round as that of the russian bmp1 apc. so that could kinda be used as a reference to how much damage it can do. enough to take out enemy jeeps/hummers, heavily damage apcs, and probably not do much to tanks. thats just my opinion though.
3. perhaps to make this weapon easier to model, make it an iron sight version instead? ive noticed not all of recoilless rifles in those pictures had scopes, especially the ones used by insurgents. that scope looks mighty hard to model, and it seems like none of those pictures show it in much detail. just something to think about if you get frustrated tryin to model that scope.
Sorry I got here first
, yaeh I was thinking that there would be a technical version, that was my original intentions(I had seen BHD that da when I decided to start this
)
How the thing works though is up to the team, I might try to set it up for the game, but I don't know. 1 step at a time here

YOu seen one?
Also since my pictures have been sub quality (not many good front and side views of the thing anywhere, and I've only found 2 shots of the PGO9 aiming device by itself)
Anyone who knows an open Russian Arms Depot please kindly send one of these with optic to me! :\

It's because I redid the thing with a new picture that Nos sent me. I got an issue thought
I right clicked and saw a thing called schematic view, and the thing just maximized the schematic view, and thre are no uttons to click to get rid of it
If your wondering why my typing is doing badly, its because I'm on a Mac and I hate this keyboard!

Slight update, I have seperated the breach from the gun expecting to make the locking mechanism. It's a damned difficult task.
The PGO9 is a real pain in the butt, but I think I might have an idea how to do it. Ill probably ask the modellers of this community how they would go arond doing it, both the breach and the optics
