And of course, it goes without saying that anyone who sticks an M4 stock on their Ruger 10/22 is a poser.

An M4 stock on an RPG? I don't think so. If you extended it out to full length and tried to fire it that way, you'd be just in front of the back blast.

And it must look hideously awkward just holding it that way...

Well, I did say almost...

Maybe I was just fascinated with the idea of mounting an EOTech on an RPG. Wonder why no one's actually tried that yet...

In some countries, the EOTech is more expensive than the launcher.

Pretty much any country, actually. RPG launchers are often only a little more expensive than AKs (sometimes even cheaper). I'm guessing that for the price of one EOTech, most Third World armies could buy enough RPGs to equip a platoon of infantry (maybe even a company).

You have to give them credit for using off the shelf parts.
