Another simple and rugged Soviet weapon some illiterate peasant can use. When one thinks of insurgents it is the AK-47 with the RPG-7.

Way back in the deeps of time, I got to fire one of those.

Almost as dangerous to the gunner as it is to the target...

Best part is when the illiterate peasants aren’t familiar with the concept of back blast.

I shudder to think about the devastation that could come about from multiple crates of RPG’s coming into the U.S. in shipping containers to our ports and entering through Mexico aboard big rig trucks and distributed by narco terrorist cartels to jihadists, etc.

The classic 1980s film Red Dawn

Mere mention of that movie causes leftist mouths to foam up.

American high school students blowing up Soviet tanks with captured RPGs as they shouted “Eat me!”

Eat me??? I don't think so. Try:

"WOLVERINES!"

I never understood the awe over the RPG. It’s basically a glorified bazooka.
