Here's a video test of the MilSim Labs M385 Foam Round which is modified to fit the Matrix RPG-7 from Evike.com tested by Booligan. It works and we just need an RPG-7 shaped foam warhead to make it even more realistic... "If you look at my review history, you'll see that I've tested out quite a few 40mm launcher platforms, from a simple XM203 to the incredible complicated, but beautiful, Deep Fire AT4, and this fits somewhere in between, with a very simple firing and loading mechanism, but an incredible cosmetic look. If you were using this simply as a prop, it would be absolutely perfect, and be priced far less than other prop RPGs on the market. But this has the added benefit of being a functional replica, able to fire 40mm shells either using BBs or another projectile. Unfortunately, the RPG design itself doesn't allow for the most effective use of large projectiles, due to the short barrel system, keeping this from being an absolute game changer.
If this is used a system with the 40mm shell mounted in the rear, and using the entire inner assembly as a barrel, this would be very hard to beat. For now, it's a beautiful replica that is functional and able to be used in a skirmish, albeit with some limitations in its current form. It's a replica that I'm thrilled to add to my collection, and I look forward to using it as an anti-armor/material weapon on the field!"
