Yes, an RPG is a rocket propelled grenade, but that wasn\'t an RPG. That\'s an M224 60mm mortar.
Rockets carry the propellant in the projectile, and are powered during flight. Mortars are canons, and the propellant ignites in the tube in one big bang, launching the projectile -- sort of like a regular rifle or pistol, only on a larger scale.
