I have some more question to ask. This subtitle also comes from Aliens, the second Alien movie. Thank you all for your help and patience.
For your convenience, I keep the timestamp of the subtitle. If you are not familiar with subtitles, you can just ignore the timestamp before the sentences.

During the drop-ship's flight to the planet, Hudson boasted about their advanced weapons. He said:

557
00:43:54,485 --> 00:43:57,142
We got tactical smart missiles...

558
00:43:57,177 --> 00:43:59,765
phase-plasma pulse-rifles, RPGs.

What does this RPG refere to?

Again, I'm not exactly sure what "RPG" actualy means, but it is some sort of military term.

Yes. I agree with you on that. It should be an abbreviation of some kind of weapon.
The question is what the full name of that kind of weapon?
