RPG does not stand for rocket propelled grenade, if we are talking about the workings of a weapon we may aswell get the name right.

Correct away, RittWitt - If I'm wrong, I'm wrong... end of I'm not one of those forum assholes who can't take constructive criticism =-)

Yeah, Rocket Propelled Grenade is just the english name for it,which happens to have the same first letters of the words. The russian name for it is:
Rutschnoj Protivotankovy Granatomiot (or close to that)
In english it does roughly mean:"Handheld Anti-tank Grenadelauncher"

True, but no one wants to say Reaktivnyy/Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot.

I don't think many people could, even if they did want to.

I can
And I can even read this: реактивный противотанковый гранатомет



RittWitt that was a very interesting post. Thanks

I remember a video where they tested a RPG on a simple Van with dummys.

It's pruduces only two little holes to the left and right of the vehicle without any harm to the dummys that wasn't between that holes.
