How the RPG-7 grenade works
At least two videos on Youtube show a member of the Afghan army throwing away his RPG, probably because it fails to fire.
• RPG-ANA (Afghan NationalArmy)
• Video
In the comments, many self-proclaimed weapons experts suggested that was the right thing to do because of the grenade's self-destruct or because it could overheat due to the rocket motor burning. Since people prefer to believe things taken out of the context they heard somewhere rather than proven facts, I decided to make this video.
So let's see how the RPG grenade really works and why it is a bad idea to dispose of the weapon in the nearest ditch.
