I am watching Fox now and this one reporter was describing an RPG and said they could put on their shoulder and fire a half a mile away. Do they have that kind of range?

Yes, but not particularly accurately. Not like hitting a large hotel requires one to be accurate.

1/2 mile isn't really all that far of a distance as modern weapons go.

I think a typical model of RPG will go 900 meters, which is about 1/2 mile. They explode on a square hit or after a few seconds, which limits the range. Different models have different levels of performance.
