The Panzerfaust (German: [ˈpantsɐˌfaʊst], lit. 'tank fist' or 'armour[ed] fist', plural: Panzerfäuste) was a development family of single-shot man-portable anti-tank systems developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. The weapons were the first single-use light anti-tank weapons based on a pre-loaded disposable launch tube, a weapon configuration which is still used today (a contemporary example being the 84 mm AT4).
The Panzerfaust-design consisted of a light recoilless launcher tube outfitted with a single pre-loaded high-explosive anti-tank warhead protruding from the muzzle. It was an inexpensive, easy-to-use anti-tank weapon for the common infantry man, being issued as a single unit of ammunition meant to be operated by a single soldier. Firing was done from under the arm at an upward angle as the effective firing range was barely beyond that of hand grenades (30–60 m (98–197 ft) max – although a later version produced in smaller quantity had an effective range of 100 m). After use the launcher was discarded. The Panzerfaust became one of the most effective infantry-carried anti-tank systems in the war, thanks to its ease of use, low production costs and ability to defeat thick...
