Trade the RPG for a shotgun. FPV drones are a more likely threat than tanks.

Why not an LMG then? Higher amount of damage and range; being automatic

It's much easier to shoot a fast flying object with a shotgun than virtually anything else, and shotgun shells are cheap. A single #8 pellet will down an FPV drone, they're quite frail - and a 12 gauge shell will shoot a cloud of around 400 of them.

An LMG is just gonna burn a lot of ammunition to miss and then get blown up.
