And if you don't believe me on that, here's the link to wiki article on the AT-4, not a RPG but same concept.

AT4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the US Army Field Manual 23-25 on Light Anti-Armour Weapons, chapter 6, section 9.

DANGER

THE M136 AT4 IS NOT RELATED SAFE. IN TRAINING, NEVER FIRE IT FROM AN ENCLOSURE; IN COMBAT, DO SO ONLY WHEN NO OTHER POSITION IS AVAILABLE. THE OVERPRESSURE AND BLAST COMBINED CREATE CONDITIONS THAT CAN KILL YOU. IF THEY DON'T KILL YOU, THEY CAN INJURE YOU SERIOUSLY OR DEAFEN YOU TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY.

yesterday, round on karbala,
one frontal hit to stryker- smoking, rtb for repairs
one hit to side- stryker is on fire, dead in 10 second
one hit to side- stryker disabled
HMMWV, 1 hit- insta death

well, i cant say you have no chance, maybe its hard to hit, but when you do, apc is usually screwed

really? i have seen humvees take a rpg hit and drive away, could be buggy hit detection i guess

Yup, but the AT4-CS is made to be fired in confined spaces,

The problem of back blast has been mitigated recently with the AT4-CS (Confined Space) version, specially designed for urban warfare. This version uses a saltwater countermass in the rear of the launcher to absorb the back blast—the resulting spray captures and dramatically slows down the pressure wave, allowing troops to fire from enclosed areas.
