Line 55:
*** Recoilless doesn't mean a complete absence of recoil, it's just reduced. You can't get rid of Newton's second law entirely.
*** Also, depending on the design of the weapon, if you don't properly clean the tube, soot and muck from previous firings can clog the tube up a bit, relieving it of the "Recoiless" adjective.
* According to the History Channel's ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090429183118/http://www.history.com/minisites/shootout/ Shootout!]'', a U.S. combat advisor was knocked off his feet and thrown through the air by the backblast of a heavy RPG.
* In an episode of ''[[Bugs]]'', a bad guy is killed by standing on the "right" end of a timed missile launching ramp.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "Remembrance of the Daleks", keep an eye on the wall behind Ace when she fires an RPG at a Dalek. The scorch mark is clear proof that these were the days before CGI. Or, you know, decent budget.
