You might not know this, but that’s how early humans hunted birds.

If God had wanted them to live he would have given them explosive reactive armor

There wasn't much meat left after the primary detonation would pierce the soft flesh of the bird but it's tradition.

There must have been some real big birds back then for them to need rocket launchers

More oxygen, bigger bugs, bigger birds.

Neanderthals built the first Buick. It was the only way to take down the giant ants. The birds were relatively easy.

This is why the Big Bird species is nearly extinct

It is normal when the dinosaurs hunted like this in ancient times:

Aiming is for losers!

Aiming is still important obviously, but when you start training on these from the age of 6 years old it becomes just as accurate as the older non-atlatl versions

Ah yes, at our rocket launcher class for 6 year olds

You didn't have one? Oh man, those were a blast! A shame little Timmy got his nuts blown off, but hey, that class was worth it!

His nuts are a sacrifice I am willing to make

I've never held an rpg-7, but what I know of Russian engineering is that it must be so well balanced and fly so true.

Truly unparalleled precision

it's called asymmetrical warfare, look it up westoids

What are you complaining? You get 3mm more material for free on 1 side!

What you’ve never heard of variable bore artillery? This lets the round juke while in flight. /s

Firing a Russian BMP [REAL] [UNEDITED]

I'm conflicted because I'm quite fond of that moment when someone you love tucks your hair behind your ear, but maybe less so using a bullet.

Does the thick part go at the top to prevent barrel-droop?

Or am I overthinking it?

No, it's for protection against overfly top attacks from NLAWs.

PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

That's why you need higher engineering safety margins! Then it doesn't matter how square your barrels are!

That's basically how they launch rockets in Attack on Titan.
