Description

A device that launches a rocket-propelled projectile, which is usually an explosive weapon.
The launcher itself is basically a hollow tube with a triggering mechanism and places to hold on to.
They are somewhat similar to recoilless rifles in terms of ergonomics, usually being shoulder-mounted. The most famous is the RPG-7, used by guerrilla warriors around the world since the mid-1960's.
