ICBMG
From the Metal Gear Wiki
After Naked Snake destroyed RAXA during the San Hieronymo Takeover, he was informed that RAXA was merely the test model, and then witnessed the real unit, ICBMG, being transported via helicopter toward the base's underground silo complex. Ultimately, he was unable to reach the launch control room before Gene could begin the launch countdown, and resorted to destroying the unit itself.
While it was fortunately unmanned and already attached to the top of the rocket (and thereby effectively defenceless) it was, however, said to be invulnerable to conventional weaponry. This was thanks to its incredibly thick armour. In addition, any assault on the rocket could have caused the underground silo complex itself to be destroyed in the resulting explosion. Determined to stop the launch without any concern for his personal safety, Big Boss stormed the ICBMG himself, attacking with his RPG-7.
However, at the same time, the troops he had inspired over the course of the incident helped him out by firing their own weapons. Although the rocket launched anyway, it quickly became clear that all of the combined firepower damaged it sufficiently: after detaching from the rocket, Metal Gear began to fall off course, resulting in its destruction once it crashed back down to the ground.
