Awefull things to have fired at you...all they have to do is detonate behind you or alongside of you while you think you are safe behind cover...of a tree or rock...
On the other hand a lot of them (at least the 60s versions) tended to blow up on the operator
(We had a couple captured we kept in our firebase bunkers..but though I shouldered it...I didnt have the guts to fire it...our LAW rounds no problemo..the chicom junk...no thanks)

I heard that sometimes an RPG-7 would misfire in such a way that the rocket did not fire, but the timer on the warhead would be initiated anyway, leaving the operator with the need to toss the assembly as far as possible and hit the dirt before it went off. Sure to ruin your day
