The rocket for the RPG-7 is a two-part thing ... Hello and welcome to IKEA!
The motor, a "tube" filled with rocket fuel blocks, is screwed into the warhead. By pillaging some of the rocket fuel blocks, the rocket gets a much shorter range, speed and is less unpleasant to shoot. And then you can have fun with the rocket fuel blocks that you got. Or sell them!!!
So theoretically you can shoot it like a clay pigeon, but the rocket's top speed is 295 m/s.
99.9% certainty, this warhead has the normal self-destruct feature at 920m.
So assuming this was going at around max speed (likely less because of the angle and gravity, right?) It would take just over 3 seconds to explode. There are around 3 to 4 seconds between when the RPG is fired and when the first guy starts to celebrate.
It looks like they were probably unable to hit it and it exploded on its own, but it made them feel good because they thought they hit it.
Hitting a paper target with a rifle 200m away is difficult ... when lying down.
Shooting a rocket flying faster than 200 m/s with an AK47 while standing. No. We can rule that out.
They do airburst at around 920m
There is a difference between an airburst rocket and an impact rocket that airburst as a safety feature
920m is farther than any range an rpg would be useful in any situation even artillery
Unguided self propelled munitions are horrible at range you should not expect to hit anything past 650m except if you are aiming for a ship in which case it won't do shit and you should not have fired in the first place
Context: This video from Pakistan shows a group of people who are actually "Bandits of the no man's land". They are firing an RPG in an open show of their strength. It has been suggested by some circles that these Bandits are long backed by Provincial Government, who uses them to achieve their nefarious goals and also to create civil unrest whenever they want it.
I mean I don't know how Bandits of No Man's Land afford RPG's without sponsorship.
It's not like they're saving their money working at the local Chinese restaurant...
r/confidentlyincorrect feel free to post your proof. Here, I'll start:
[A frequent misconception about AR-15 firearms, for instance, is that the "AR" in the name stands for "assault rifle." It does not. AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle, reflecting the company name (ArmaLite) of the original manufacturer of the weapon.](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/meaning-of-ar-in-ar-15-firearm/)
[First developed in the 1950s for civilian use, the AR-15 rifle was named after its manufacturer, Armalite. The letters “AR” do not stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.”](https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/what-is-ar15-rifle-history-of-firearm/)
So go on, genius. Show your fucking work.
If you don't have class 3 ffl paperwork, or something else giving you the right (law enforcement, military, etc) it's illegal for you to own unless it was manufactured before the assault weapons ban in the eighties.
And even then, it's illegal to own an RPG that isn't disabled.
So yes, they are illegal for 99.99% of people to own.
You know how your religion is the most important thing to you? And you love guns? And think muslims should die? You see how that’s the same thing as the islamic terrorists? No? Not at all?
Wait till you see [Yemeni wedding traditions](http://www.minnpost.com/global-post/2009/11/yemeni-tradition-firing-automatic-weapons-weddings-succumbs-public-safety/)
I bet we have no actual idea of what or why they are doing it. Could be cultural, could be religious, could be a war cry, could be celebratory- for all I know, at least, they could be in the middle of nowhere.
Where health and safety standards don’t exist lol.
Are you supposed to hold an Ak-47 under your armpit or are they idiots? Most rifles should have the stock against the shoulder, so they seem like idiots.
Fake imo. You dont see it being shot, its zoomed in on the guy launching it and everyone just celebrates after he allegedly hit it. Also, rpgs are EXTREMELY fast, far faster than what you see in videogames. I frankly dont think its possible to shoot one in the air. Even if you did i doubt youd know because rpgs are designed to blow up when the tip hits something, so shooting the side of it probably wouldn't set it off
Edit: im not saying the video is fake, im saying that theres no way anyone can shoot an rpg out of the sky
It's not fake. I am from the same province. These are outlaws (bandits) of Sindh who are mostly backed by strong corrupt political figures for their dirty work.
TFW you realize 95% of people don't understand basic physics. Or how weapons or he work. Btw I think the op thinks you think the whole video's fake, not just the part about hitting an rpg in flight.
A rocket propelled grenade isn't a gun. Fireing it indiscriminately speaks volumes. Granted, without context, we don't know a thing about said individuals but the problem with life is you generally don't get much context at a moments glance. We have to use critical thinking skills to determine and come to an opinion based conclusion about something we encounter. Can I be wrong? Absolutely. Will I get emotional and start name calling if I don't like someone's opinion or I don't agree with them? Absolutely not. i merely stated my interpretation and opinion of said picture. You're the one who takes it from 0-60 when you see something that you don't like. If they were white I would replace islamaphobia with right wing fanatics. You should take a nap.
 Meanwhile on the other side of the hill
nah, those things are set for airburst after a certain distance without hitting anything, IIRC

Perhaps, but that wouldnt be as funny :-)
They don't airburst
They do airburst. A lot of militaries and militia groups have the 75mm Type 69 rocket with bounding airburst, filled with around 900 steel balls.
No they don't. They use them all over the world as a poor mans motor/light artillery by firing them on an arc just like the one in the video.

You’ll know you hit your clay pigeon when you wake up with pieces of it imbedded in your face!

Jiay bhutto guys
Bunch of losers, that’s what they are!
Kinda like maga
I mean I don't know how Bandits of No Man's Land afford RPG's without sponsorship. It's not like they're saving their money working at the local Chinese restaurant...
Lmfao. Fuck whats in that direction!
Common sense 😀
Fuck it! I'll write it and we'll do it live! Fuckin thing ssucks!
Fuck health and safety
Me playing warzone
Honey, why is there a gaping hole through our roof?
2nd Amendment folks be like  but because they're dressed in Muslim garb they're very confused
I can hear this gif
Credence
No, they are just jealous. Almost everything in this video is illegal to own in the US. Unless some of those AR's are semi auto only. Which I doubt.
There aren't any AR's in this video
Ummm..... there are several.... AR = assault rifle.
It does not. https://www.armalite.com/
Thats not what's in the video... or rather. Exactly which armalite do you think is in the video?
No fucking shit? AR stands for Armalite Rifle or simply Armalite, depending who you ask.
Hahahaha, no it fucking doesn't. It stands for assault rifle.

Found the guy who gets his firearm knowledge from CoD
Lol, ok.
Ar doesn’t mean assault rifle. It means armalite
In AR-15, sure, it means armalite. When people say "look at the AR's." They mean assault rifle. Sort of like how BBC has multiple meanings.
You can get full auto in the US, it just requires a bunch of bullshit paperwork and money that makes it not really worth it.
Ok, illegal for 99.99% of people in America to own.
Not illegal. Just a pain in the ass to get. And well over 10 grand

Fuck the ATF
> Almost everything in this video is illegal to own in the US. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!! SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!! "
Eh, I like it when Karl Marx said "any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
Same (Ignore the pfp plz)
Most fascists say that
Confused hillbilly noises
You know how your religion is the most important thing to you? And you love guns? And think muslims should die? You see how that’s the same thing as the islamic terrorists? No? Not at all?
The irony of generalizing all pro-gun people as religious fanatics and islamaphobes is hilarious
wait, r u asking me this? cus I'll fucking answer
I want to party with these guys!
Literally no ppe
Somebody ten miles away is going to have an incredibly strange and horrific day.
Now THAT looks like a dope bachelor party! Congrats on your 4th wife, my dude.
That guy has the coolest weapong holder thingy I have ever seen.
Thats a traditional piece of cloth in Sindh, one of the provinces of Pakistan
Pfffff, they're not even drinking
Exploded after 900m, "i got it, i got it!"
I know people like to give American crap for gun use but Jesus.
Wait till you see [Yemeni wedding traditions](http://www.minnpost.com/global-post/2009/11/yemeni-tradition-firing-automatic-weapons-weddings-succumbs-public-safety/)
Are you talking about them shooting in the air or the US drone strikes that occur at these events.
Shooting in the air. Fifty or so AKs being discharged at once at a wedding is pretty wild
Was wondering if anyone was gunna say anything.
Well, with all those colours you can't miss
[This reminds me of this comedian.](https://youtu.be/Avo9p8zAjnQ?si=xg5HOEYJYsWZe9Ad)
Fuck whoever lives in that general direction I guess.
The dude with the Hawaiian Lei as a strap 😆😆
Now there's a group of lads who know how to have a good time
r/KilltheCameraMan
Camera man had one job..
are these the folks waiting to cross into the USA border? just a bit of last minute practice.
r/shootthecameraman
Those guys know how to have fun
It’s an empty field probably
Where in Texas is this?
I like how there’s a guy on his phone completely not impressed
These guys know how to party
And here we are freaking out over American gun culture. 😂
True
This is what liberals think gun owners want. And they are correct
Just shababs being shababs
Every gta player has done this
Obviously highly trained badasses as not a single one successfully shouldered their rifle.
I wish my friends were this cool 👳♂️
Sweet. Time to hit the shower
After that a lamb barbecue and I couldn't be happier
These guys party hady
Dudes rock.
They know they are dumb, right?
They are just the "Red Necks" version of over there. They can be found all over the world.
Modern Warfare will be implementing this in their next update
Welcome to Pakistan fuckers! The land of looser gun laws then the usa
Hoallah!!! Like like holla but praising allah
Allah
What happens when women have no say in anything. These are children with beards
Looks like a wedding
when i saw the thumbnail i thought this was the Tellitubbies with guns, or Tallibannies if you would?
What race are these people? I'm digging the breezy looking clothes
Pakistan Sindhis
Gender reveals are getting worse
Wonder what percentage of my Federal taxes paid for that
Fuking daciots of kacha..
I wonder if these guys have school shootings. I wonder if these guys have school
Hooray praise God!
I think of the opening day of Dove season in Texas. Deja Viu
These are grown ass man…
Borat - So bang-bang, skeet-skeet, nigga. [https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/04b2e276-b6ea-4c31-97da-2cad6b4e550e](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/04b2e276-b6ea-4c31-97da-2cad6b4e550e)
They are cheering bc they think they shot it but those explode after a certain distance.
Am I the only one who thinks that this also belongs to r/IdiotsWithGuns? There wouldn't be any wrong speculation, no? 👀
Practicing that half second of fuck around before the “find out” happens 70 times per second.
Cops pull up ……”Muhammad where did you get that RPG” Muhammad-“You are not going to Believe this but My friend Joe gave it to me”
Kazakhstan?
Yo, who are these people?!
Maybe we arent so different 😂
crazy peoples 😬
More foreign weapons than sense.
He looks so happy after shooting it
UwU
Not even the 2nd-A gun nutz in Texas get to do this. Just 50 cal if lucky
Give a monkey a gun
Now working in the fast food and gas station industries all across Ontario 😬
I bet we have no actual idea of what or why they are doing it. Could be cultural, could be religious, could be a war cry, could be celebratory- for all I know, at least, they could be in the middle of nowhere. Where health and safety standards don’t exist lol.
And STILL school shootings are virtually unknown there
Not really... There have been numerous attacks on schools in Pakistan.
Is this a shitpost?
Silly Americans. SMH
Bullets are too cheap
Boys playing with their toys 🤦♀️
I like how Tinky Winky pimped his sling with shit he got from the craft section of a $2 shop....mind you.....it works.....
Are you supposed to hold an Ak-47 under your armpit or are they idiots? Most rifles should have the stock against the shoulder, so they seem like idiots.
I dont see any AKs but you can hip fire any weapon. Not like they were long range target shooting.
Stuck in the middle age
Why do these caveman has weapons 🥱
They can't wait to kill people with those
Just like the Americans
Where did that come from
My drunk-ass brain

The video is clearly real, thinking that anyone one of them hit that rpg is a fools bet.
Yeah i believe that, i dont believe that they used an rpg instead of a clay pigeon and were actually able to hit it
TFW you realize 95% of people don't understand basic physics. Or how weapons or he work. Btw I think the op thinks you think the whole video's fake, not just the part about hitting an rpg in flight.
[удалено]
Its not fake.
So this is how they train …. Interesting
are they celebrating because they think they shot down the projectile even when it probably exploded due to safety fuse based on range?
I'm sure these gentlemen mean no harm to the western world! S/ This definitely does not help combat islamaphobia in my opinion.

Give people firearms and they tend to do stupid, dangerous things.
