hey /k/
/tv/ here
I know a lot of you guys are military and do the thing, so I'm wondering... Do you really call out RPGs as critical targets when in combat? It happens a lot in tv and movies, and when WW3 happens and I get drafted, I don't want to make a fool of myself acting like Bradley Cooper.
So, calling out RPGs, is that really a thing? '
in exchange for your time I humbly offer a picture of my waifu. pls no bully.
You call out distance and direction for every weapon system or enemy you can identify.
>"Machinegun, 200 meters north"
>"Sniper, 150 meters, south"
etc.
"RPG" is a good shorthand for any kind of shoulder fired or even underbarrel individual weapon. So, it's often called out when it's not technically correct, but it gets the general idea across in the moment.

Yes you would call out what is being fired at you and from where. However you will not experience the Hollywood

If one is being fired at you from a reasonable distance you'll get out an r before it impacts because they are much faster than in the movies, about as fast as .45acp.

I honestly can't help but love how much Hollywood seems to beat this in. I've even had a few characters do it in TTRPGs or done it when being shot at by RPGs in mulitplayer games.

This except you typically use clock directions instead of cardinal directions. We call it the three D's: distance, direction, description
So like
>RPG, 12 o'clock, 150 meters
Etc
A lot of times we just say contact unless it is a machine gun nest though. At least my unit did.
>contact, 12 o'clock, 100 meters

Clock position relative to direction of travel, not cardinal direction
