RE: RPG Projectile Based
So, reading from wikipedia and other sources, the slowest projectile that is even remotely "dodge-able" might be a 150 lb draw weight crossbow. It fires bolts at around roughly 62 m/s. This is arguably the minimum amount of power a crossbow needs to take down an animal, so this would be lethal both as a "bullet" and as a explosive delivery device.

The next slowest thing is the M79/203/320/GL1 grenade launcher. They fire grenades at around 76 m/s.

To give you guys a perspective, the fastest baseball pitch was around 45 m/s. One of the fastest golf ball drives was around 85 m/s.

The plasma pistol in Halo fires at around 109 m/s, and it was slightly dodgeable.

So now would be the question of whether or not a modeler is up to the task of creating either a crossbow or grenade launcher.

Also, from research, Special Forces units actually use the M79 even today, "due to its greater accuracy and range compared to the M203 (350m effective versus 150 m effective on the M203). The M79 has seen notable limited use during Operation Iraqi Freedom, such as for clearing IEDs." - wikipedia M79 article

Reading more, it looks like the M320 is basically a modernized Grenade Launcher that has the M79's specs.

So take your pick regarding the model you're interested in making. I'm not sure how fast we're going to make the projectile in game though.
