We've all been seeing videos of Hamas terrorists shooting various types of RPGs at IDF tanks. Are these RPGs powerful enough to take out an IDF tank? How about one of our Abrams tanks?

Good grief...
This kind of shit MIGHT have worked in the late 1990s when most of the big gun boards were novelties and just getting started.
If the 1990s are coming back, can we at least have some of the really GOOD shit from that era???

They’d get a kill on a WWII era tank, just not a modern one. They do have shape charge rounds.
Lets go to the wayback machine..... The army time link in now dead but there is enough that you can google and still see the photos....

| These guys disagree with the RPG-7 theory, but the general consensus seems to be a n extremely lucky shot with a shape charged warhead, not a "mystery super gun." "At this time, it appears most likely that an RPG-22 or some other improved variant of the Russian-designed weapon damaged the M1 tank, sources concluded. The damage certainly was caused by some sort of shaped-charge or hollow-charge warhead, and the cohesive nature of the destructive jet suggests a more effective weapon than a fragmented-jet RPG-7." http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=1-292236-2336437.php |
