INFO ONLY NOT FOR SALE P83-9
Panzerfaust "Pipe Launcher" as well as the inert projectile rocket. All totally inert and but faithful reproduction of this very crude late WW2 last ditch weapon. Constructed from steel tubing with a primitive sight and firing system, these anti-tank weapons saw some success against the invading Allied Armies. Basically intended to be fired and thrown away, very few original examples survive. Do not expect the classic German workmanship of the early war years and before, when these were first introduced in late 1944 and 1945 they were thrown together as fast as the Germans could make them.
Introduced in 1943, the Panzerfaust Klein (Translated literally to mean: Tank Fist Small) was a forerunner of the Panzerfaust Gross (Tank Fist Large) or Panzerfaust 60m rocket. This ingenious throw away Rocket and Launcher was one of Hitler's last ditch weapons adopted by the Nazis to try and repel the invading Allies on both the Eastern and Western fronts. "Most authors agree that production of the Panzerfaust Klein was halted somewhere in early 1944, due to its insufficient penetration of armor and replaced by the larger model."
Our inert display reproduction faithfully replicates this classic weapon but none of the internal working parts are included. Each Rocket comes in full size steel construction and is externally accurate including the flexible stabilizing fins. It even has the stuck on replicated instruction label, as issued on the originals. Includes all steel launcher with accurate trigger/sight assembly!
