Zarquon Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Please don't post the same question in 10-minute intervals. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putumayo Posted October 2, 2002 Author Share Posted October 2, 2002 OK. Excuse. But it is not the same question : first was " WHAT IS THE RANGE... ", and second was "HOW TO KNOW THE RANGE..." (Where we can find it if you rather..) [ October 01, 2002, 06:22 PM: Message edited by: putumayo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 It's not possible to find in the manual, or at least I cannot find it either. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Let them sneak to a tank. They will throw when they get into range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I have bes results for 'thrown' weapons like Molotovs or grenade bundles etc on distances of 30m and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickovich Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 All the above are thrown weapons which usually means bout 20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putumayo Posted October 2, 2002 Author Share Posted October 2, 2002 RPG also are thrown weapons ? I thought it was more like a bazooka... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 RPG is not thrown, but it is pretty short range too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Originally posted by putumayo: RPG also are thrown weapons ? I thought it was more like a bazooka...No, this is the modern RPG, developed in the USSR during cold war (RPG-2 in the early 50s, RPG-7 in the mid sixties, RPG-18 in the late 70s, last one is similar to the US LAW-72) [ October 01, 2002, 06:53 PM: Message edited by: Scipio ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisha Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 The RPG is thrown. It's a hollow charge grenade known as the RPG-43, made to land on its head when thrown. The mechanism for insuring a head-first hit is rather ingenious, too. About a year ago there was a thread discussing this very AT grenade used by the Soviets. I probably should add that this grenade has no connection with post-war Soviet portable rocket launchers also known as RPGs.
