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
The Henry Stickmin.
That’s basically how they launch rockets in Attack on Titan.
You might not know this, but that’s how early humans hunted birds.
We’re these birds also known as dinosaurs?
If God had wanted them to live he would have given them explosive reactive armor
This is why the Big Bird species is nearly extinct
There wasn’t much meat left after the primary detonation would pierce the soft flesh of the bird but it’s tradition.
It is normal when the dinosaurs hunted like this in ancient times:
That’s how I look after Mexican food
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.
I’m actually surprised now that I’m thinking about it that there aren’t grenade flinging devices like this.
the device you’re thinking about is called rifle grenade (soldiers already carry rifles with them)
sometimes 40mm UBGL fills the same role. grenade throwing device like this would probably require different fuzes (longer delay) and it will be much less controllable than anything actually launched (you don’t want live grenades ending up nearby by accident, not an option with rifle grenades or 40mms)
the entire idea kinda died off because you can’t fit in rifle grenade anything actually useful against tanks for example, but one resurgence would be 82mm mortars attached to PG-7 series rocket engine and launched from RPG-7, used by Ukrainians
Or you can just use a giant winch-operated catapult instead.
If you throw it in a 45 angle, it’s exactly like the Javelin missile but 100x cheaper. Genius!
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
(Cross cut BMP barrel)
That’s why you need higher engineering safety margins! Then it doesn’t matter how square your barrels are!
What are you complaining? You get 3mm more material for free on 1 side!
Holy shit
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.

it’s called asymmetrical warfare, look it up westoids
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.
