Russian ‘Mythbusters’ Shoots an RPG at 45 Layers of Bulletproof Glass
- spatulan 11y agoThe RPG-7 uses an initial explosive charge to propel the rocket a safe distance away from the soldier who fired it, before the rocket ignites as takes the RPG the rest of the way. Otherwise the soldier would get a face full of rocket exhaust. On the first test at around 1:16 you can see the rocket is lit. On the second test at around 3:59 you can see the rocket motor failed to ignite.
