Video added to OP.
It isn't a true RPG, in fact it isn't even a firearm. It cannot accept military RPG rounds, rather only can chamber and fire avalanche control rounds. It is not a destructive device, but an industrial avalanche control device. And yes, it has an ATF exemption. Should be listed on AZAO Inc's website in the next few days. As I understand it, they have units ready to ship.  RPG Gender Reveal |

Direct fire range with the standard sights of 550y/500m. At a high angle, it is much greater. |

And where does one get avalanche control rounds? Do they require any licensing to buy or store? Any storage mandates?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By towerofpower94: And where does one get avalanche control rounds? Do they require any licensing to buy or store? Any storage mandates? No licensing, but they are sold as exempt (from explosives regulations) pyrotechnic articles for professional use, so you likely have to get a certification that you've been trained on them. AZAO Inc will be selling them, shipping unfilled. You fill them just prior to use, thus avoiding storage issues. As it was relayed to me, the bursting charge for the avalanche control device is 2lbs of black powder. |

Still nothing on AZAO website, nor in this thread. I'll try and call AZAO this week and see if I can glean any more details, and maybe even some pictures of the mythical avalanche device.

Will an avalanche piercing (AP) round be available? How about a High Elevation (HE) avalanche be availble?

I reached out to them today, they said pictures and details on ammo will be coming shortly. They apparently took a bunch of pictures from a shoot this past weekend.

I Placed an order for one this morning so we will see when it shows up. I'm genuinely curious about ammunition for it and what the cost is gonna be. Sub 100dollar shots would be excellent especially if we have to provide the charge

A shoulder fired launcher is definitely on the list. I read a rumor on reddit that he's working on RPG7 tubes, so I'm gonna wait and see. But an Anti Tank Gun/cannon is the holy grail. |

Yes they did, finally got a tracking number from Chris. Should hopefully be here early next week. If you plan on ordering one just understand it’ll likely be a month+ before you get a tracking go number
