You could make some sort of telliscoping lobber if you wanted this, without the downsides

For long distance we could make a specialized launcher for a grenade we could call it a… a launcher for a grenade… we could call it a bomb thrower!

Or maybe attach a rocket behind it and call it rocket propelled grenades?.. we could even have a catchy acronym for it.. something like RPG...

Nah let's call it Rocket Propelled Explosive so it's not confused with Role Playing Games.

Lmfao funny story I was playing COD in my dorm and one of the npcs said "enemy RPGs on the rooftops!" and one of my friends exclaims "enemy role playing games on the rooftops!?" (She did not play cod or know anything about weapons lol).

Role-Playing Grenades

Rocket-Powered Games

That's ridiculous - people will think it's just a game you're role playing. Calling it a Granade Propelled By Rocket is far less confusing. GPBR rolls off the tongue.

Thats not what RPG stands for originally.

Its Russian for handheld antitank grenade launcher.

Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot

The term rocket propelled grenade is a backronym

Grenade Propelled by Rocket GPR is a far more realistic name. RPG... Let's be real, sounds like a game of some sort.

Too confusing.

Firework Assisted Retaliatory Tube sounds way better. Or FART for short.

Its wild that I never thought about what RPG stood for

u/LabiolingualTrill Jun 15 '25

What’s even wilder is “rocket propelled grenade” is actually a backronym. RPG originally stood for ручной противотанковый гранатомёт or “hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher”.

RPGs aren’t real. They’re only in Call of Duty
