Panzerfaust Anti-Tank Weapon

The Panzerfaust ("tank fist") was an inexpensive, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II. It consisted of a small, disposable preloaded launch tube firing a high explosive anti-tank warhead, operated by a single soldier. The Panzerfaust was developed from the earlier Faustpatrone and remained in service in various versions until the end of the war. The Panzerfaust 150 variant was the basis for the development of the Soviet RPG-2 which later evolved into the RPG-7.

@kyoshiroma Aside from whatever you say, economic and industrial power also play a very central role in winning wars - especially massive ones.

@Theakker3B Panzerfaust and its predecessor, the Faustpatrone, were very small recoilless rifles firing what was basically a big rifle grenade.

[redreaper2020]

imagine if they were making the big ones en masse in 1940 and gave them out to the panzergrenadiers...

@supersoviet8055 They're actually two different weapon types and the Panzerschreck actually came first. The Panzerschreck was a reloadable RGP, it fired a rocket. The Panzerfaust could only be used once and fired a grenade charge that wasn't rocket propelled. The Panzerfaust was more like a mortar than an RPG.

Did the Germans give their "campers" the panzerfaust? Their lil prick grand kids now play Call of Duty. :-) peace

One argument: Panzerfaust - 30m, 60m, 120m. Problem solved!

I heard panzerfaust were use and throw weapons but in the movie they seem to assembling it.
