The 105mm RPG warhead was specifically developed for the RPG-29. It is a rocket-propelled grenade, which itself has been declined in several variants, to serve anti-matériel (High-Explosive Anti-Tank or '''HEAT''') and anti-personnel (Thermobaric High-Explosive, or '''HE''') purposes.

Designed to explode upon impact, the rocket has an effective range of 400 meters, which is a twofold improvement over the [[85mm RPG]], which is used by the [[Bazalt RPG-7|RPG-7]]. Upon leaving the barrel, the rocket deploys eight stabilizing fins, and will maintain a ballistic trajectory on an effective range of 500 meters.

How to read this?

105mm RPG is capable of dealing tremendously high damage, as the chart shows. As an explosive ordnance, and a warhead originally designed for purely destructive purposes due to its thermobaric nature, it is an extremely deadly force to be reckoned with, benefiting from the advantage of explosive damage type bonus of being able to blow off limbs from its targets, if it doesn't kill them immediately thanks to the tremendous power of the thermobaric rockets.

While these may be strong advantages, this is a rare type of ammunition, that can be found at random in the rooms in boxes of either one or six warheads, but it is also a heavy kind of ammunition - being rockets, a single one weighs 3 units, rendering ammunition conservation difficult; not to mention the prohibitively high price of a single rocket (300 P$).
