Talk:RPG-29

message: Where does the pricing information come from?
:I edited the part about how the container mates to the launcher, but did not edit, add or delete any part concerning the price.  If the price quotes is correct it is one of the cheapest antiarmor weapons on the market.  For example the USMC SMAW (based on the Israeli B-300) has an antiarmor round the HEAA which is quoted as costing $16,000 to $25,000 per round!!!! - Jack E. Hammond
::I have a suspicion that the price quoted may be what the weapon actually fetches in a particular context, for example when being bought and sold on the black market in Iraq.  The actual development/manufacturing cost is probably a lot higher, although no doubt still a lot less than the likes of the Javelin. :)  Riddley 16:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Remember, this is a Russian weapon, not American... they like cheap and simple, and don't pay $1000 for toilet seats. I can easily believe the prices listed on the page. Mark Grant 16:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the price, since nobody has come up with a source for it - and it has been tagged for some time - see WP:VERIFY. Megapixie 22:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure. I checked the links listed on the page and didn't find any information there, so it's probably worth removing. Mark Grant 22:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the RPG 29 reloadable?
:Yes, the rocket is breech loaded, i.e. slid into the launch tube from the rear. Riddley 02:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a different system. The rpg-7 is a rocket (carries it's own fuel) launcher and the rpg-29 is a grenade launcher. It's pretty much operated like the Carl Gustav grenade launcher, and with Carl Gustav an intermediate pair can get 6 accurate shots in one minute and an expert pair kan get 10 accurate shots in one minute.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.241.121 (talk) 10:42, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: "The warhead is extremely powerful, and in tests conducted against T-80 and T-90 tanks it penetrated the tanks over their frontal arcs.[1] If these reports are true about frontal penetration, the Russian HEAT weapons engineers have made an astonishing advance because a 105 mm warhead is considered inadequate. The French with their ERYX short-range anti-tank weapon stated that a HEAT warhead had to be at least 135 mm in diameter to defeat the newer Russian main battle tanks frontally."
This paragraph is not encyclopedia material.
In the first sentence is a sourced statement.  That's perfectly fine.
The rest of the paragraph is unsourced editorial.  After making a sourced statement, the next sentence begins with "If these reports are true...".  If it's not true it shouldn't be in the article.  Since it is sourced, why is that line there?  Is there some reason to doubt whether or not the statement is true?  Unencyclopedic.
The remainder of the paragraph is unsourced editorial.  Unencyclopedic.
Without first sourcing and then rewriting it, it's just speculation and should be deleted.

message: Czechoslovakia definitely never used RPG-29, that was completely sucked out from the finger, so I removed it from the list of former operators. I also seriously doubt east Germany ever had them. When the hell both of these countries should get them, if soviets themselves got them in 89?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.195.174.118 (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I've removed the East German claim. Feel free to restore it if there's a source for this. It doesn't have to be by '89, '90 would be fine. Even later, although that would no longer be the GDR. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:18, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of former operators 

message: The author of the russianinfo webpage Vasily Fofanov has already stated the following
http://www.tank-net.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18913&page=3#entry401721
"Re this trials report. Even after all these years, I couldn't independently verify these trials took place (and I could independently verify a great many things in this time...), nor verify that the person ever existed. This looked quite plausible back then but it increasingly looks this was just an elaborate hoax."
The tank-net consensus is that it was faked

The RPG-29 somehow outperforms the PG-7VR, which has the same warhead for no apparent reason cast even more doubts.
: You getting nowhere with personal attacks and weak accusation, here, and on my talk page. Also, the rule for revert is clear, if you get reverted you looking for dialogue.
: If it would be indeed faked, Mr. Fofanov would have it already removed back then, as the post was made in 2006. Instead, he just expressed his doubts and left it untouched. The new website was established in 2009 with the last edit on 2010. Also, there's no consensus at tank-net, other user clearly disagreeing.
: However, Mr. Fofanov could have already gathered some further information, and even probably confirm its validity. I'm going to mail him, in the meantime, stop kicking and screaming and wait for a clear response. Thanks. Nenzza (talk) 11:25, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
