User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Revy (Black Lagoon) vs Bandou (Elfen Lied)/@comment-379205-20120702174549/@comment-5872914-20130121190011

You should note that the M79 has better accuracy and a greater effective range compared to the M203 (350 meters of the M79 vs 150 meters of the M203). About the Rocket Launchers part is that both have the same effective range (200 meters) although the M72 LAW has better muzzle velocity (145 meters per second vs the RPG-7's 115 meters per second). However, the fact that the RPG-7 can be reloaded and easy to use whilst the M72 LAW is disposable makes the RPG-7 the winner. This is why it took the Americans so long to develop their own reloadable rocket launcher, which eventually appeared as the SMAW, which was introduced in 1984.
