The RPG either explodes further away, helpful on early designs, not so helpful on very modern RPGs as they have longer effective 'jets'. They can also stop an RPG because the percussion fuse on the front goes between the slats and the slats actually deform the shaped charge and sometimes stop it cold entirely.

This is absolutely correct. Well stated.
And, you would not believe how much weight they add to the vehicle! It really slows them down considerably. Effective though! But there is always a trade-off.
