When it comes to the mortar RPG, it is a legit field modification aimed at producing RPG rockets that suck less in the anti personnel role. Regular RPG7 rounds being anti tank shaped charges really don't give off much in terms of fragmentation effects. Mortar shells are purpose designed as anti personnel fragmentation ordnance.

About the RPG, on top of thinking green and recycling, from the information I have, regular round will detonate after traveling a set distance of 920 meters, so this could potentially extend this range and serve as a shoulder mortar launcher.

The Thompsons were fitted inside the lend lease US tanks that were sent over but were little used, and most of the ones that survived are in mint condition, the firm I used to work for in the UK imported loads of mint 1928 and later thompsons and drum mags in the early 2000's.

In Afghanistan the ANP had what seemed like an endless supply of OG-7V rounds for the RPG-7. Other soldiers speculated they were the normal rockets without the shape charge attached. That was incorrect. It's a fragmentary round specifically designed for anti-personnel. I saw few of the normal shaped charge anti-vehicle bulbous rockets we think of when it comes to the RPG. When I asked why that had so many anti personnel rockets versus vehicle ones, they literally said "this is what we have". So, like Brandon said "necessity" is us8ng what you have.

About that MG42... When being trained to field strip our MG3 in the German army back in the early 2000s we discovered some parts of these had "1942" stamped on them. We then learned that those MG3s we got were just modified MG42s with the "NATO brake" installed, otherwise not much changed. Due to the MG3 still being used a lot (just like the US M2) this is not such a great surprise to find one there.

While he has a point there regarding the historical examples, is it a good comparison to the current situation really? I mean the Soviets where never friends of the west, they were the lesser evil, as was the mujahedin when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Ukraine has it's problems, sure, but it is a struggling democracy that is on a western trajectory, being invaded by a country that views that development as threatening. There is also the geopolitical angle here as well, with Ukraine being a shield for Europe, since there will be little reason for Russia to stop there if they succeed, but is in no way the lesser of two evils - rather Ukraine is in the absolute moral right, a true ally and part of the free world in opposition to autocracy and in defence of an international rules based order. In that light, I can't see how a communist dictatorship or an islamist guerilla make for good points of comparison.

Bonus points for the RPG-7 Mod 2 Fuck You round with grenades attached: the RPG-7 has a self-destruct timer. That timer runs out at about a thousand yards, meaning that little homemade round is not only potentially an anti-personnel air-burst round if you get the range right, it is also now an anti-air round. Again, provided you get the range right. Which you'll need quite a bit of luck for, the timer on the self-destruct is sort of like the timer on infantry grenades: not at all reliable if you want precision.

There's account's from the Australian Army in Vietnam during the late 60's of NVA (maybe VC need to find citation here) of RPG-2 AND RPG-7 been used both in their intended anti-armour role but also as anti-infantry role. The later was without modification they just intentionally shot the fuckers into the large overhead tree cover of the digger's. Thus creating potentially lethal storms of sharpnel, keeping heads down and sometimes at the very least really angry bitey ass insects raining down. This from memory was during a period they we're actively engaging large bunker systems where ammunition would be stockpiled allowing for even more indiscriminate use of rockets in such a fashion.

Just to clarify, the copper lining inside a high explosive anti tank warhead doesn't become molten, even the explosion is still well bellow even copper's melting temperature. Its used because it is extremely soft which makes it very good for entering into a state known as superplasticity where a material stretches while maintaining a low stress. This causes the copper lining to become akin to a Lance of metal going extremely fast. It is essentially acts like modern sub caliber munitions in tanks except on a smaller scale and higher speed. The tradeoff however, is that the Lance has a much lower range as the velocity achieved from the explosion decreases rapidly. This is why spaces armor is so effective, it both slows down the projectile and forces it to travel a longer distance.

@dakwha2686

Жыл бұрын

Yeahhhh, I think you may have heard that the copper doesn't melt through armor and taken that a little out of context. First of the copper does in fact become molten due to friction, so the temperature of the explosion has nothing to do the copper melting, however the copper works as an incendiary after penetrating the armor. Secondly the jet of copper actually penetrates armor the same way a high pressure water jet cuts. The copper is funneled into a long extremely thin stream of particles moving incredibly fast(remember that energy=m*V^2), essentially sand blasting a tiny hole which can then open to a larger size as the rest of the stream passes through(see "shaped charge" to learn more). Since the stream of copper breaks up into many particulates it by definition cannot enter a state of superplasticity. I hope this clarifies the mechanisms behind what makes a HEAT round work. Also the melting point of copper is 1085C, while high explosives routinely produce temperatures an order of magnitude higher than that.
