This video demonstrates a highly improvised method of converting an RPG-7 HEAT warhead and a rocket motor into a projectile for an 82mm mortar. The process involves detaching the warhead, attaching the motor to a homemade adapter, and then screwing this assembly into an 82mm mortar round. The creators confirm firsthand that this modification results in a functional shoulder-launched explosive device, capable of a significant "big badaboom."

This video details the Zero-Length Take-Off (ZEL) rocket motor system, showcasing its physical components and historical application in jet fighters like the F-100 Super Sabre and F-104 Starfighter. It highlights the system's critical role in enabling runway-independent launches, particularly for nuclear-capable aircraft during the Cold War, ensuring operational capability even after initial enemy strikes.
