1st generation Panzerfaust


By bye Sherman

thats a panzerschreck... was better than the faust and had a greater range.

the schreck may have been better than the panzerfaust 30 or 60 or 100 (panzerfaust 150 was superior i guess but was not used)
of its time but not the modern pzfaust 3.

still, the shrek beat the shi* out of the american bazooka. greater range and payload.

some more nerdiness, the sherman you showed looked like it was disabled in african theatre, Germans did not use panzershrek there

ah the good old Panzerfaust sure did damage to the allies ..

good post K..

"the shrek beat the shi* out of the american bazooka. greater range and payload."


The Panzerschreck was superior to the original circa 1942 Bazooka, but the later WW2 Bazooka's were vastly improved in payload, range and penetration power. They were as good as the Panzerschreck. And lets remember that the Panzerschreck was a copy of the Bazooka.

Panzerfaust penetration 700mm of steel

In 2007, British officials confirmed that an RPG-29 round penetrated the frontal ERA and hull of a Challenger 2 tank during an engagement in al-Amarah, Iraq, wounding a crew member.[5]

In May 2008, The New York Times disclosed that an American M1 tank had also been damaged by an RPG-29 in Iraq.

When I first saw this picture I thought it was a Turkish soldier with a stupid camo do rag.

helenos, WHICH panzerfaust penetrates 700mm?

what is that RPG, and which forces use it, i mean Russia uses RPG-7 and RPG-22 and 29 for sure but which others
