Welp, apparently, RPG does not mean "rocket launcher" per se. I thought "rocket-propelled grenade" applies to all shoulder-based rocket launchers. How big the range of this thing must be to require magnification scope? The Russian thing only has iron sight and isn't used to shoot very far.

It actually was pure coincidence that RPG could be used in English to stand for "rocket propelled grenade." RPG is originally Russian for what amounts to "manual anti-tank grenade-launcher." This AT-4 will keep soarin' for like 2km, but is aimed from 300-500m. The Javelin, on the other hand, is a fire-and-forget launcher than you point, shoot, and then walk away as it guides itself over 4km.
