 Its low cost and simplicity lead to the RPG-2 being widely produced by the Soviet Union and exported, with other nations producing licensed copies of the launcher. Copies have been produced in China under the designation '''Type 56''', (not to be confused with the [[Norinco Type 56 Carbine]], [[Norinco Type 56]] assault rifle, or the [[RPD light machine gun|Norinco Type 56 light machine gun]]), Vietnam as the '''B40''' and '''B50''', Somalia, Yugoslavia as the '''M57''', and Czechoslovakia as the '''P-27'''. The RPG-2 was extensively used against US forces during the Vietnam War and saw use throughout Cold War conflicts like the Nigerian Civil War, Rhodesian Bush War, Portuguese Colonial War, Salvadoran Civil War, Lebanese Civil War, and Somali Civil War. The launcher was produced until 1960, when concerns over short effective range and poor accuracy led to the introduction of the RPG-7 in 1961. Despite the RPG-7 being the launcher arguably most associated with modern warfare, the RPG-2 continues to see service, with recorded use as recently as the Syrian Civil War, Iraqi Civil War of 2014-2017, and Battle of Marawi.

	The '''RPG-2''' (Russian: РПГ-2, Ручной противотанковый гранатомёт, Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot; English: "manually operated antitank grenade launcher") is a Soviet shoulder-fired rocket launcher, the forerunner to the ubiquitous [[RPG-7]]. It is the successor to the earlier, unsuccessful RPG-1. Introduced in 1954, it, like the RPG-1, is based on Soviet studies of the German [[Panzerfaust]] and American [[Bazooka]] rocket launchers. While light and compact enough to be comfortably used by a single person, in practice, at least two people were needed to operate the weapon at maximum effectiveness.
