Default The US Army in Europe circa 2000 and the RPG-16

All-
It seems like a wise idea for an infantry unit of the US Army in Europe to pick up RPG-16's as 1998 arrives and supply shortages worsen. I would think that units that find themselves beyond the German-Polish border by the time the year 2000 hits would pick up and use whatever RPG-16's that they could lay their hands on as a matter of regular practice.

After all, you have a limited number of US standard AT-4's and such, but every Soviet/Pact infantry unit you whack has RPG-16's, so why not use an otherwise useful/effective weapon against it's former owners and save the US issue stuff for a later day.

Does this make sense?

I have read of US troops making use of Panzerfausts during the war in Europe in '44-'45, and cannot think why we wouldn't do it in WW3.

Thanks,
Dave
