I suggest that the Militia hava a *special* RPG that they can pickup

the almighty
Anti-Personnal Ruchnoi-Protivotankovye-Granatamyotrussian: (handheld)-(Anti-tank)-(Grenade Launcher)

it can explode above the ground at 100m away it can also have a SOFLAM in the kit so they can see 100m away, or a small scope with a distance finder?

different warheads for the RPG-7 have been suggested before.

if these warheads where introduced the RPG would have to be totally remodeled as the dice model cant be edited. and im not really a big fan of this idea for many reasons to list.


ill leave this open for now, unless it gets uncivil.
oh and welcome to the forums

The Rpg's does have quiet a good explosion radious already, But i suppose if you shot one of those in the air, and right before it hits the ground it exploads, same princip as a frag grenade, if u throw it far up in the air, it usually exploads before reaching the bloody earth, this rpg could use the same princip, just bigger explosion and higher radious...

The RPG is already used more as a noob tube weapon than as its intended role. Making a dedicated noob tube weapon is inviting trouble no matter how you look at it.

Christ on a bike. Will this never stop?

sure rpgs are used for tanks.. but they've been more used against infantry in wartime anyway.

last time ...... RPG dont mean rokect propelled granade , it mean explosive chraple charge (?) in russian

an BTW , it only need a new model for the rokect , not launch tube .

would an RPG be that effective againts infantry ? what makes a RPG good agaist armor is its shaped charge , which shaped charged expolsives rnt that good againts infantry , are they ?

RPG = Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot = rocket anti-tank launcher or hand held anti-tank grenade launcher

The RPG's purpose with the PG-7V warhead (which I believe is the version in PR, could be the PG-7VL) is anti tank. It can be used in the anti infantry role, as can any other anti tank rocket launcher, but it is definetly not its intended use.

As an extremely limited kit (1, max 2 per map) it could be useful in some situations. However, that would make it alot of work for a fairly small gain.

Its a good thing Bob beat me to it, because every time somebody thinks that it stands for rocket propelled grenade, I punch them in the face.

It's when news people call it rocket propelled grenade that I want to slap them because they are supposed to be accurate.

i watched the BBC news tonight, and the reporter asked a pilot how does the new British apache compare to a blackhawk, then when he was told the difference he then went on and asked how a Chinook compares to a apache

The News is awfull at recognition, I've seen them show a clip of a landrover and call it a Warrior ffs!!

Also clips of US humvees saying they are landrovers!!

thermobaric FTW for al basrah!!

ive seen videos of thermobracics used in iraq and those things are NASTY. one of the worst ways to die, sucking the life litterly outa someone.

I wish i knew exactly where but ive seen many military men call the RPG a rocket propelled grenade(military channel,history channel,discovery,internet,ect...) and if you type it in google or anywhere else you get the RPG. So my thing is hasn't it been called that enough and known for that world wide that it has in fact become that??


EDIT: I just searched gogle for Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot and only a few pics of the RPG came up but when i searched for rocket propelled grenade i got so many pics of the RPG i could have started a museum.

Widespread ignorance is still ignorance.
