I'm no expert but I thought RPG would bounce off of helicopters. Two have been downed by the Taliban.

Some modern tank armour is virtually impenetrable by all but special rounds, usually a discarding sabot with a depleted uranium core projectile.

Now an RPG round contacting your head would bounce off it like a tennis ball on a brick wall. I have $100 US or €5 that says it's so. Post a youtube vid when you do it.

Thanks in advance

An RPG is a bazooka. It's a shoulder fired unguided missile launcher designed to destroy lightly armored vehicles.

Don't believe everything you hear or read, just like don't believe the US killed bin Laden he was dead years ago. I don't buy it for a minute that a RPG took down the helicopter and killed US troops. What I do believe is that the US created that story so they can stay on coarse to fight the never ending war on terror.

I would call you a c--t, but you don't have the warmth or the depth.

A RPG is an old un-guided weapon so it is something of a miracle shot but when it does hit a tank or helicopter then these are the results



Look at how these guys miss the target (a huge tent)
