Hate to say it that I had to vote for the RPG-7/16 due to the large number that keep being found and being used against US, NATO, and allied forces in locations in Iraq and Afghanistan. That and every infantry squad of the Pact were suppose to be armed with one of these.
The LAW and the Swedish AT-4 are decent fire and forget weapons, but are quite useless after the round has been fired. While the RPG-7 can be reloaded and used again. Again we have to come to look at the realities of the supply chain for the Twilight war. How many of LAWs and AT-4s would still be in inventory. Again I am reminded of the fact that during the drive into Iraq in 2003 that US and her allies ran short on various items including ammo and batteries. So it wouldn't be far fetch that these missiles would be of days gone by...

I have to agree with all the votes for the RPG-7 for all the reasons that have already been mentioned with an honorable mention to the Carl Gustav. There is a reason that it has been in service for over 60 years by numerous armed forces around the world.

Although, qualitatively, the RPG is probably not the best unguided AT rocket on the list, its versatility, variety of warhead types, and relative availability, especially behind enemy lines, make it the hands-down choice for me.

I would never say the RPG-7 would make the perfect weapon out of the list. Much like if I was behind enemy line and running low on ammo, the AK-garden variety would look to be a suitable replacement so we an find ammo to use...

I went for the Armbrust because I really like the idea of using it from indoors with no backblast (davis countershot iirc?), but I agree the RPG would be a better bet. The RPG has cropped up here a fair few times as well and I've seen its effects on light armoured vehicles - too many RUC and army landrovers got hit over the years here.
