Love how the only English phrase is "Holy crap!"

I don't know enough about RPGs, is there a reasonable expectation that after pulling the trigger the grenade would explode even if the propulsion charge fails?

<strike>No, because it's not a grenade. </strike>RPG stands for Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot.
It's an unguided rocket with an explosive warhead that detonates on impact. <strike>There is no timer involved.</strike>
Actually, the RPG-7, one of the most prolific models, apparently has a 4.5 second self-destruct timer. But, throwing it on the ground at your feet ain't gonna make a difference.

It looked like he threw it in a ditch behind the firing line. It may or may not have been smart... but letting a RPG blow up next to your head is certainly a bad idea. It looks like it worked out the best for him. However if it had gone off a few seconds earlier it would have nailed the guy on the far side of the range.

Haha, I think this was posted somewhere else on the forums here but these vids remind me of this. Some sort of Javelin type system:

I like this one. Be sure of your target, and what is <strike>beyond</strike> in front of it.
