I wouldn't want to shoot some cow with a RPG or diskha.  A cow is a farm tractor to the Vietnamese.  When too old to work, its beef on the hoof.

Give me an old T-34/85, T-54 to shoot up instead.

The thread from back in the day gave rise to one of my favorite lines on arfcom, in reply to someone who said it didn’t seem fair - “Cows have had just as long to develop shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons as people have, it’s perfectly fair.”

It is absolutely true in Cambodia.  I have been to the range and shot a DP28, a PKM, and an AK.  I have pictures.  There were grenades and RPGs along with a pretty decent wall of rifles and LMGs.  The explosives were old ass dirty Russian gear and I like my limbs.  I looked at them and declined.  They offered me a chicken to shoot the long guns at.  He said that they give the remain of the chicken to the villagers, but I don't know what's left after 90 rounds of 7.62R.  I declined and shot paper.  The range is at a military/police range, but they were next door and the tourist part is run by what appears to be a local company as the guys had company polo shirts on.  There was an outdoor and a small indoor range.  I shot inside in the shade because it was hot as hell out.  I spend a few hundred bucks on probably 500 rounds that went quickly.  What completely sucked balls is when we got back in the tuk and were headed out.  There was a gate that we just breezed by on the way in.  Well on the way out, you are expected to kind of bride your way by.  I asked the driver how much and he said he didn't know.  I was a little worried but gave the guards a 10 and they seemed happy enough and let us by, so it worked out.

Am I the only one that's a little disturbed by this?

Im pretty sure if you had the coin you could get a range with a DD import license to procure a rpg-7 with enough lead time to get you one.  think about it, you can pick the calf and by the time it matures you can blow it up with a rpg :).

Go over there and wander the under belly for a few days.  You will find other things to be disturbed about.

Are the RPGs leftover stock from the 1970s?

Oh, I have absolutely no doubt about the dark shit that is common place over there and this is nothing at all in comparison.  I guess I shouldn't at all be surprised.

About 25 years ago a co-worker was on a tour of Mainland China and one of the stops by the tour bus was at a 'range'. They could shoot all kinds of guns, and I think an RPG was included, she wasn't sure exactly what it was, and called it a bazooka.

She walked over to the guns and after a quick look, she went to the other side of the bus, away from the firing line. She said the guns were in such poor shape she was afraid one might blow up, and she wanted the bus in between her and the flying chinks of metal.

Seen it done with M60 from helo and with an M79 HE

If they were grazing on an LZ they were not letting any round eyes near it

VC trained water buffs nasty creatures hated our smell

They aren't cows in the American sense more like Cape Buffalo in the African sense

They fight them and gamble on the outcome

If you got the money and don’t mind a shitload of bad publicity you could probably do it in Ohio...

Is there a disclaimer on the contract about 50 yr old Chi-com RPGs blowing up on the shooter?

No "dustoff" for you Yankee

I don't know that i could shoot an unarmed cow in good conscience... do you think they'd be willing to put an AK next to the cow?
