Good point. The primary use case would be to assassinate someone driving in an armored limousine.
Otherwise quite useless.
Otherwise quite useless.
But thinking about it it could be quite useful as an intimidation tactic.
If your rival biker clubhouse got hit by an RPG followed by the message 'we have a few more', it could really make people think about committing acts of attack on a group when another RPG is their likely reply.
That said, using against a police station like these guys considered seems stupid. Something like that would never make the police back off, and only throw ever more resource against these people.
The other use would be straight terrorism. One of those into a crowd or building would be horrific. And could be amplified if the group did one then said more are coming type thing.
Anyway, amazing the army didn't have greater control on these. At least fire them at their end of their shelf life for practice as these things cant be cheap. I imagine controls are significantly increased today.
If you already are relatively close to a crowd you’re better off using some fully automatic weapons like actual assault rifles. Or grenade launchers.
Also not condoning violence. Just looking at the threat these things pose in hands of criminals/terrorists.
Bombs were used and police found some really unusual weapons, including an anti aircraft gun at one club that they raided.
