MSBS (Modułowy System Broni Strzeleckiej) translates as: Modular Small Arms System. GROT is the official name adopted in honor of General Stefan Rowecki, while grot itself means arrowhead.[/p][p]This weapon system is not just an assault rifle, but, as the name suggests, a whole family of guns. The design began its life as part of the once-fashionable giant “soldiers of the future” programs. In Poland, this program was given the name Tytan (Titan).[/p][p]The aim of this part of the program was to develop a family of arms (as modular and versatile as possible) to replace the aging Beryls, AKMs, and obsolete carbines from the AK family. In other words, these weapons were supposed to represent a leap forward from old Soviet designs to the best that the modern world has to offer.[/p][p]December 15, 2009, when the first two fully functional technology demonstrators were publicly presented, can be considered the symbolic date of birth.[/p][p]In the initial phase of the program, the focus was on two versions of the system: the standard bolt-action version and the then popular and more futuristic-looking bullpup version.[/p][p]Low funding for the development of weapon systems in the first decade of the XXI century resulted in slow development of this design. The first contract for the Polish army was not signed until 2017. To date, over 100,000 units of all versions and variants (A1, A2, and the latest A3) have been produced for the Polish army and other users .[/p][p]As for the current status of the program, it is by no means complete. Ultimately, the entire platform is to consist of the following variants: battle rifle (currently existing and in use), rifle with grenade launcher (slowly being introduced into service), mini version (smaller magazine, shorter barrel, max 13 inches) , a marksman rifle (not to be confused with a sniper rifle with a longer barrel), and a machine gun (longer heavy barrel). Most of the components between all these variants are to be exchangeable, which will simplify logistics in the event of a conflict and allow a larger number of them to be kept in constant working order. [/p][p]In terms of construction, it is a typical semi-automatic rifle powered by the energy of gunpowder gases. However, during its design, it was equipped with several interesting features and solutions. The idea was that each rifle would have some type of optics assigned to it, with the front and rear sights treated as backup rather than primary, as is the case with older designs. The designers also took into account the comfort of left-handed users. This weapon has a fire selector and a reloading mechanism on both sides, while the ejection of cartridge cases is determined by a symmetrical plate, which, when moved, determines in which direction they are ejected in a matter of seconds.[/p][p]In response to market demand, a 7.62 caliber version was also developed. Currently, the only known user of this variant is Rwanda.

In this version, the MSBS assault rifle has been equipped with carbon fiber elements and decorated with dark red colors. [/p][p]To improve user ergonomics, a potato grip, a pistol grip known from the M4, and a stock with greater customization options have been added. In addition, this version includes additional FMJ ammunition. [/p]
RPG-7

This weapon was introduced to the first units of the USSR in 1961, replacing the RPG-2, which was similar at first glance. In terms of design, it is a development of weapons developed during World War II, such as the Bazooka (supplied by the Americans since 1942), Panzerschreck, and Panzerfaust. [/p][p]It combines the best features of these weapons, such as an oversized front mounted grenade (Panzerfaust) with reusability (Bazooka, Panzerschreck), and introduces new features, such as firing the grenade with a powder charge, which eliminates the need for additional protection for the shooter, as in older designs.[/p][p]The RPG-7 consists of a 40 mm caliber tube launcher and an oversized projectile, which can now be as large as 105 mm. Dividing the RPG into two parts allows for an almost unlimited number of modifications and weapon developments. Despite the fact that this weapon is almost 65 years old, new types of grenades are still being developed. [/p][p]Initially, only cumulative warheads were available for combating vehicles. Currently, armies that still use this system can use tandem warheads, fragmentation warheads, smoke warheads, and thermobaric warheads in addition to the modern cumulative warheads that are still available. This makes the RPG a system suitable for destroying almost any static or slow-moving target, or even for harassing the enemy with indirect fire. The launcher itself has also undergone countless changes, making it lighter and more durable while remaining fully backward compatible. Currently manufactured models can be equipped with modern daytime optical sights, as well as thermal imagers or night vision devices. Despite its age and archaic nature compared to newer solutions from around the world, thanks to numerous modifications, new ammunition, and many armies that still want to develop this weapon, it is a dangerous opponent to be reckoned with. [/p][p]Thanks to its simple design, which facilitates mass production and uncomplicated operation, it has become the most popular solution in its class of hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers and a cult weapon, immortalized in many films, TV series, and, of course, games such as World War 3.

Components that are not made of carbon fiber are coated in dark red. A better sight with 5x magnification has also been added.[/p][p]
