Insurgent RPGs (not about accuracy)

[Garabaldi]

Nothing should happen to players that they are not responsible for or able to avoid.

QFT.

I can't stand deviation or other crap which the player has absolutely no control over.

definately against lowering number of RPGs.. they are plentiful for insurgents 'irl' .. read this entire article.. http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/7-964.aspx

I said this in the other RPG thread, and ill say it in this one, as its seems to have converted to the same topic.

Well, from my experience of RPG's being shot at me in afghan, they are very innacurate.

I saw an insurgent stand up with his RPG on his shoulder about 70-100m away pointing straight at us, i yell out "RPG!", I turn to shoot, and I see him fire it. About half way from us and him, the RPG just went wild in the air and hit the ground about 15-20m away from us.

From what i undersand, RPG's in the air are very unstable. If they hit an air pocket, they go veering off course like mad.

So, the RPG accuracy in PR is very realistic.

Thats my experience, and my 2 cents.

well this thread wasn't supposed to be about accuracy, but i linked that article for a specific section on the number of rpg's in Iraq..

Until recently RPG-7 was also manufactured by Iraqi state arsenal near Al-Nassiria. Tens of thousands RPG-7s and PG-7 rounds were purchased and produced by Iraq. So far the US troops in Iraq located just a few hundred such weapons.

but it does have some information on accuracy at the bottom, who knows if its true today, as this article is from 1994!

You'd need new pants after that
