The spall is part of the target armor which is heated and fragged off the interior. The carrot also comes through and is an additional source of kinetic and pyrotechnic effects.
You are also wrong about the warhead weights. You cited the weights of the rockets themselves.
The RPG-7 is in no way like a depleted uranium round except that they are both munitions.
The penetration of both rounds is reduced as the angle increases.
Neither weapon is private proof, but the RPG-7 is more robust. The AT-4 is not necessarily "More friendly to rough use and safer overall."
You need to separate your characterizations of the RPG-7 launcher from that of the various PG-7 warheads it can fire. All of the examples I have used can be decocked , the round is merely placed in the launcher prior to use and is frequently carried that way (without cocking the launcher).
Would you like for me to look for additional errors in your post?
