#1 Rpg have been used in a number of criminal attacks in France over the last few years, this is not uncommon, mostly armored cash transporters, though there was a spectacular prison break-out in which a professional bank robber was bailed out by his accomplices who blasted the doors with plastic and rpg, while hosing the watchtowers with automatic fire... this was in 2004 I think.

And assault rifles are even more common; firepower of the criminal element has vastly increased with the traffic from kososvo and ex-yugoslavia, firearms were traditionally the mark of organized crime, now they're available to street gangs funded by drug.
