The tailboom of the grenade inserts into the launcher. The diameter of the PG-2 warhead is 80mm. The center section of the tube has a thin wooden covering to protect the user from the heat generated by the grenade launch. The wooden covering also makes using the weapon in extreme cold conditions easier. The total length of the weapon with a grenade fitted was 120 centimeters (47 inches) and it weighed 4.48 [[kilogram]]s (9.8 [[pound (mass)\|pounds]]). Only a simple [[iron sight]] was provided for aiming.
