Anon2 has a good point, but labeling all rocket launchers as a bazooka isn't the best way to do it. The bazooka is a very specific weapon. It's akin to calling all trucks a Ford. There are proper ways of categorizing things. If you don't know them, leave it for those who do.
There are two English naming conventions for this type of weapon. RPG, which stands for Rocket Propelled Launcher (The RPG-7 does not use this naming convention. The weapon's name specifies that it is explicitly designed as an anti-tank weapon. It's a common mistake, but is descriptive enough.) and a shortened version of the name, rocket launcher.
