LAG-2

The LAG-2 was an American-made recoilless rocket propelled grenade launcher designed to counter the Russians in the munitions market during conflict zones, made in the mid-to-late 2010s.

Design and usage
The LAG-2 was made mostly of plastic to keep costs down, meaning its production was meant to benefit the national economy more than national defense. However, the contractor that developed the weapon also made a customizable version meant use against cyborgs via their private armory. The modifications included a magnetic locator, which avoids the risk of causing interference due to the gun itself being made of plastic. The ammunition was also a 2 kilogram HEAT-MP shaped warhead, which is capable of exploding into a thousand ceramic flechettes. As a result, it also has enough explosive power to completely stop an APC in its tracks when making a direct hit. However, a drawback is that it used an inertia-based charge, meaning the cyborg can easily evade the attack when given enough time.

During the Desperado Incursions of 2018, several Desperado Enforcement LLC. and World Marshal Inc. cyborgs utilized the LAG-2 launcher in their operations, including an ambush at Africa, as well as firing on Raiden's car during his trek into Denver. Raiden himself also procured several of these weapons systems during his missions against Desperado. The World Marshal Inc HQ building's main lobby also had glass cases containing the LAG-2.

Behind the scenes
The LAG-2 rocket launcher, simply called "Rocket Launcher" in-game, is a weapons system utilized in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance both by the enemy, as well as a subweapon by the player. Although the weapon itself is fictional, it combined several design traits from both the RPG-7 and the Panzerfaust.
