The smoothbore container is made from two fibreglass parts; a main tube containing the rocket, and a telescoping forward extension, which slides over the barrel.

In transport mode, both ends of the barrel are closed by plastic covers, which open when the weapon is extended.
The firing mechanism is manually cocked by raising the rear sight.
Lowering the rear sight de-cocks the weapon if there is no target.

On firing, there is a backblast danger area behind the weapon, of at least 15 metres.
The solid propellant motor completely burns out while the rocket is still in the barrel tube, accelerating it to about 133 metres per second.
The weapon has simple pop-up sights graduated to ranges of 50, 150 and 250 metres.

To keep training costs down, a reusable RPG-22 is available that fires a 30 mm subcalibre projectile, weighing 350g, to operational ranges.
Handling is identical to that of the full calibre version, with the exception of the discharge noise and backblast.
