I have seen a lot of beat up PG-7s, none that I am aware of have failed to function as designed. The nose cone is hollow on the front half, with just the piezo-electric initiator and its wires inside, and the fuze usually has a plastic cap on it as shipped.
The back half of the warhead contains the detonator, and the shaped charge with liner. Probably 75% of the warhead is empty space for standoff. The "stick" behind the warhead contains the propellant and is an attachment point for the fins.
A HEAT round like the rockets you refer to is a chemical energy round. The DU, sabot, and AP rounds are examples of kinetic energy penetrators. You cannot launch a kinetic projo from your shoulder fast enough to penetrate modern armor, hence the fact that all shoulder fired AT rounds I am aware of are of the shaped charge variety.
The odd thing about the PG rockets is that they are very succeptible to winds, and that unlike most other rockets, they turn INTO the wind, so windage is reversed.
Next time you require this much info, it will cost you beer.

I'd much rather know and be broke from buying rounds than taking rounds and buying it big time.
I don't drink so you'll have to pick up the slack, horrible...I know.
