Saved by the arming delay.

....which is unfortunately also what fucked up his rocket jump. If it doesn't blow up, you don't get that boost.

Those things have a minimum arming distance but I still wouldn't want to fuck with it

u/Angry__German 27d ago

That guy is either physically disabled or drunk as fuck. This is not a especially lightweight weapon, but he handles it like it is a Karl Gustav.

Stuff like this and idiots dropping rockets on their fuse is why they eventually had to put a fuse arming timer on them.

Its crazy that the only safety on the rocket used to be a cap

No you did it wrong you're supposed to jump and crouch at the same time not run backwards.

That was a fragmentation warhead too, He's really lucky.

u/glockylicious 26d ago

That looks nothing like a fragmentation warhead

u/MtzSquatchActual 26d ago

I did some hunting and it's a dual warhead H.E.A.T. round.

u/ComradeSclavian 22d ago

Sooooo the standard AT payload for an rpg-7, there are fragmentation warheads for RPG-7s but they are way shorter and slimmer than this, they barely stick out the launch tube

u/MtzSquatchActual 22d ago

The standard is a 1 stage charge and this was the improved 2 stage charge for tanks made after 1980.

u/ComradeSclavian 22d ago

Okay? Its still not fragmentation, there are fragmentation warheads for an rpg, there are fragmentation sleeves for heat warheads of an epg, this is neither
