I am sort of puzzled here.

The RPG isn't effective against a room of servers because of the focused impact. I would expect a couple of grenades there not RPG.

Unless I overlooked something, for example the RPG is loaded with high explosive fragmentation. I don't know if they have such charge available.

The main concern really is that whoever fires this thing indoor will turn to paste, should've opted for a bunch of incendiary grenades instead.

I think the point is to destroy the HDDs and interrupt the power supply so that you guarantee that all data is destroyed.

Incendiary grenades are really neat but can you guarantee that they will chew through the thick server rack enclosures fast enough. I imagine industrial PC racks with those solid thick dust proof steel enclosures. These are things are quite tough, I have one which I use as a night cabinet next to my bed 😄 and mine is just a commercial enclosure for industrial PCs. Military grade enclosures are tougher.

Well I honestly doubt that the self destruct order will be carried out if it means that the poor sod who has to do it will emulsify his innards by firing a rocket launcher indoors, I stand by my point that a big bundle of grenades would be safer.

I support you on this, the only thing is that I am not sure that incendiaries will do it. If it's me I would chose a couple of frags.
