  RPG demonstration, but same principle
  
  I really didn't know it was that nasty, the principle
  
  What’s the name of that gif supposed to mean ?
- I don't think there's a ricochet, as (if my memory is right), bazookas use a shaped charge and that hole is caused by a jet of plasma.
  Pretty high tech for the time.
  
  That’s very cool! The plasma is caused by the heat?
