- Grump Grump Grump.
- Secret Weapons show did it agin. TOTALLY messed up the difference between
- recoilles and rocket propelled antitank weapons. Gahhhh.
-
- Easy distinction (skipping compounds like the rocket assisted):
-
- If the shell (where the propellant was) stays behind, its a gun/rifle
- (and even the military is not consistent in their use of THOSE two...)
-
- If the motor goes with it, its a rocket. (/missile/wotever.)
