I don't use them often, but they can be quite handy in very specific situations.
I have a RG-6 and a RPG-18 assigned to my merc with the highest HW skill. The RPG-18 is used against walls, because hitting the ground is too inaccurate.
A good example of when I used the RG-6 to great effect: In the prison map, before you enter the building from the tunnel, you have to go around a corner and go into a hole in the fence. This is the only way in, and it was being guarded by a single prone guy. Knowing that exposing myself to him for more than 2 seconds would result in a hit, so I tried to avoid that.
2 options came to mind: Quickly fire a good burst from the hip at him and hope to confuse/shake him up a bit and take him out with someone else (quite risky).... or note his position and pepper the area with 6 grenades from the RG-6. The latter was really effective.
Eh, so much for that anecdote. For the jungle camp, stock up on a ton of rifle grenades.. while the enemy is busy with your militia, just shoot everything explosive you have into the camp and hope it kills enough for you to do your thing.
