I wonder how accurate the RAP rounds are? Think laser guidance, as with the British Merlin 81mm mortar projectiles, or the SAAB/Bofers Strix 120mm projectile.

While doing military service (sweden) my platoon had a chance to fire off a few STRIX rounds. While the accuracy is impressive for a mortar round, I wouldn't use it against for example a moving target. Still any armored vehicle hit by one of these will be little more that scrap metal.
IIRC it took 6 STRIX (2 salvos * 3) mortars to hit 3 static targets at 3-4 kilometers. Two of them were hit with the first salvo.

And we are shooting at a bunker manned by three guys with AK47's?
