I'm guessing that actually firing the thing in that position would not be conducive to the wellbeing of the firer?

Comments on livejournal indicate that it would break the guys neck, but not detonate.

It'd drop to the floor unexploded?

I guess the rocket exhaust wouldn't be wonderful for the firer's health either.

I'm not sure who would be most nervous in that picture.

its also effectively pointless

he'll blow himself up as well
or depending on how launchers work, it'll fail to go off in any meaningful fashion

It's kind of funny, and kind of not.

[andrewducker]

I'm with you on that.

Yeah, don't rocket launchers need acceleration? I mean, I guess it wouldn't need that much momentum to still break the guy's neck but unless I'm vastly wrong about the way they work, it certainly wouldn't explode at that proximity.
