There's an interesting idea...but Milan has a VERY healthy warhead. I'd hate to be the first schmuck to have to fire the thing. (Imagine the kit-bashed round getting maybe two or three feet downrange--and then nosing over and hitting the ground with a loud "KABOOM!")

The Milan 2,2t or 3s are bigger but are not behemouth. In video footage footage shot during the Battle of Baghdad, a dud RPG was shot at an armored vehicle. It caromed off the vehicle with a lot of oomph.

If I did not care about my life, I would remove an RPG payload and duct tape or super glue an armed Milan warhead to an RPG. That would solve the 400m problem. It doesnt need to go too far on the shot, so aiming is not too big a problem. If I miss or if it hits the deck after 3 feet, I'm in "Virgin" territory anyway.

The Israeli terminology for such an unintended result is a *work accident.* The Brits refer to an *Own Goal* or to the operator being *Hoist with his own petard.*
