As far as I can see, the RPG-6 bears little resemblance to the PWM, except with the curved head. The PWM has ruddy great fins etc. making it look considerably different. Hence that bit deleted. The Sanctuary Sparrow 07:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misconception

The introduction contained a statement about the RPG-6 supposedly "burning through armour". This is a common misconception about shaped charges (as can be read about on the Shaped Charge page), so I removed it and replaced the wording to a more general "penetrates armour". Shaped charges are kinetic in nature, they don't burn through armour.LuxArdens (talk) 12:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How about adding a picture? I have no knowledge on editing Wikis, so I would love if someone else did it, instead of me ruining everything...

A quick Google image search revealed this one: http://www.ostfront.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/ROEP-00035_350.jpg

Is it possible to use that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.9.86.173 (talk) 06:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
