Something with compressed flammable gas canisters or a dense explosive charges, or if you wish to go down the DIY insurgent / home brew route you need to use a high nitrous content fertilizers and mix it with pure alcohol.

The RPG issue is some what based on real life I am unsure of the top of my head what the exact angle range is but a RPG 6 an 7 can and do a skip as it works on a contact detonator, there are proximity sensors type detonators out there but they are rare not many are available out side of the former soviet block. As for the speed at moving when holding one you are limited considering the MK7 rpg weighs in at 15lb an the normal ordnance can weigh between 3 - 7lb's depending on the explosive an where it was produced and the fact the average bandoleer of 5 rounds and going of the mean weight of 5.5lbs and 5 rounds weighing 27.5lb's adding the weight of the launcher at 15lbs we get a total of 42.5lbs that will slow you down a fair bit. Also it's a large an bulky weapon not a ideal weapon for FUBA fighting even less so when it comes to FISH. But it's also not a super accurate weapon at the best of times it dosn't need to be it was designed to hit a tank or a building not a single person.

I have not played GTA 4 yet an I doubt i will unless one of my friends gets it so i can't comment on gameplay issues, however I will say this GTA has had a good run but it's time it was layed to rest. Back in its day it was ground breaking and caused a stair amongst the hen peckers of the world but it's time it died a dignified death.

Uh. These are car bombs that you pick up from someone to place in a crowded area, the kind of car bomb made to do serious damage, not the kind to 'kill passengers' Im talking about the car bombs you here on the news. The kind they put in the boot/trunk. He places it under the bottom of the car, like Irish terrorist attacks. And yes, they use dense explosive charges. It has a remote detonator on it. Something like C4, dynamite, or some other thermobaric type bomb.

This game is realistic relative to other games. I am not saying this game is realistic full stop, because it's not, and no game will be for the next 4 or 5 years.

If your putting how you put it, no game in existance is anyway close to being realistic.

Does old mean bad ? no, not at all, I know Fallout games are a favourite amongst you. I guess your all not getting Fallout 3 because Fallout is 'old'. CoD games are quite old, but there great. You could say there all the same. Infact they pretty much are the same as how GTA games went. Just different changes of time, with different weapons and different locations.

What, 50 cent copied it, and it sucked. Don't get me started on the HUNDREDS of FPS games that copied each other. There the same genre of game, it's hard NOT to copy each game in some way.

Without offense..
Instead of making up some rubbish, you could just say 'I don't like GTA games'. Instead of flaming it, especially when so many people love it, your both mods, your just asking for arguments.
