Quote:The Chinese-manufactured Type 69 HE Airburst (DZGI-40) projectile features a warhead that operates in a similar fashion to bounding anti-personnel (APERS) landmines. When the 75mm warhead strikes the ground, it is propelled upwards by a jump mechanism, and detonates at a height of approximately 2 metres. Somewhere in the region of 800 steel balls and fragments of the case are propelled outwards, giving the warhead a lethal radius of 15m. The projectile is 825mm in length, weighs 2.8kg, and has an effective range of up 1,500m.

Man that really sucks... Closest I got was about 6-7 danger close howitzer rounds from OUR OWN GUYS. They didn’t know we were there, so we had to quickly radio in to cease fire before they adjusted and were on top of us. The other time was a retard that nd'd a 203 and it landed 2ft from me, luckily it didn’t go far enough to activate or I wouldn’t be here.

Guys:
What does one of the dozens of variants of the RPG have to do with the 6.5 Grendel?

Nothing whatsoever. I've been unconsciously treating this sub-forum as if it is intended for general discussion of military weapons, instead of for 6.5 Grendel weapons. My bad.
Please feel free to delete this and other threads of mine in the Military sub-forum that are on non-Grendel topics.

Some of the topics we discuss are parallel to the military and police usage of the 6.5mm

So far I haven't heard of any American police use of a air burst RPG and no, it doesn't have any parallel to military usage of the 6.5 Grendel.
Instead of reading really lame excuses for what Stan already said has 'nothing whatsoever' to do with the 6.5 Grendel or this particular forum, I will lock the thread.
