Are shoulder-fired rockets similar to RPGs?
Yes shoulder-fired rockets ARE RPGs. But only the US M-72 66mm (Vietnam War) LAW (Light Anti-Tank) rocket launcher was the US counter-part to the NVA's RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade-Launcher). If you compared the Viet War era LAW rocket (when removed from the fiber glass tube) it was nearly identical to the communist RPG rocket. Today's medium anti-tank rockets; Dragons, and optical and wire guided shoulder fired rockets are NOT similar to the old style RPG launchers. Both the LAW and Vietnam era RPG were just about equal (they even made the same sized hole in a tank); both were free firing with NO wires nor optics nor computers; they both had an enormous back blast and about the same range. The only real difference, was the communists could re-load their launchers, US LAWs were expendable, "one shot/then destroy the tube" (throw away).
