I seem to recall that chain link fence worked pretty well in Viet Nam. Anything to make it detonate far enough away to diffuse the jet stream.

RPG-7 Penetration Armor= 330 mm

Muzzle Velocity = 140(m/s)

mass= 4.4lb

ergo 4.4 x v = 2020 ftlbs.

-------------------------------------------

water cannon:

velocity at muzzle =120 m/sec

min/max agent per impulse shot = 3.0 / 12.0 liter

12 liter mass = 25lbs

25 lbs. x v ft/sec = 9840 ft/lb.

at 9840 ft/lb for water cannon vs 2020 ft/lb for rpg's, with sound beamforming targeting, could deflect or stop rpg's?
