RPG

Eh, what?

Not only is that inadvisable for a whole host of reasons, but an RPG has to travel a certain minimum distance before arming I believe โ€“ I think itโ€™s around 50 meters โ€“ and it determines this distance by rotation of the round. Some older ones didnโ€™t have this failsafe I think, but I am not an RPG expert so I have no idea which model this is other than it is a Russian design.

RPGs launch so quickly that itโ€™d definitely kill the guy itโ€™s pointed at, but might not have enough momentum not to embed itself in his body, so it might continue rotating and detonate right there.

Or, it could be deflected in an unpredictable direction and kill the shooter and his buddies anyway.

Either way, what the hell.
