The Panzerfaust(s): From PzF 30 to 250
Переглядів 175,606
День томуIn this video Jens Wehner and I will show you the Evolution of the Panzerfaust from the early Faustpatrone / Panzerfaust 30 (klein) to the Panzerfaust 150 and 250. Furthermore, we explain the Munroe Effect, how the range of the Panzerfaust was continuously increased and other information about the Panzerfausts development. Finally, I will address (real and imaginary) errors in my previous video on the Panzerfaust effectiveness.

This reminds me of a story I read about a Lithuanian hivi and his misadventure with a Faustpatrone. They were training is Pskov area to use these new weapons, but Lithuanian translator mistranslated German instructions - that if the warhead is not armed the weapon will not fire, so someone dryfired it and he was just behind. He caught fire and was severely burnt in belly area. His life was saved by a German surgeon performing a skin graft(still a new and rare technique) that another German soldier volunteered. Later he recovered and was sent to Courland pocket.

The one dead giveaway for determining if it's a 60m or a 100m variant is the little screw on the underside. If it sits under the trigger assembly it's for the 60m single powder charge. If it is positioned behind the trigger assembly towards the rear it is for fixing the 100m double charge into place. Most 100m barrels seem to have it on the unserside but appearently there are also legit barrels with said screw placed on the top side.

Remember reading in a book by the Doctors Hart and Hughes, describing the consequences of one three-week course of training with Panzerfaust for a unit of 150 men : four dead, twenty wounded. These were actual infantry recruits too, not Volksturm, so they were trained by professional instructors with proper supervision. Sort of explains why many of the Volksturm never actually fired a Panzerfaust before going into action: it was not to save ammunition so much as save the users from dying before they fought!

@lwilton 2 роки тому
@@ScumfuckMcDoucheface With a shaped charge that may not matter, unless you were directly in front of it when it went off. A common armor against RPGs for modern tanks is to simply string wires several inches away from the tank armor. The shaped charge hits the wire and goes off and sprays the outside of the armor with hot plasma from several inches away, which scorches the paint and not much else. Now, if YOU were several inches in front of it when it went off it would probably toast a nice hole right thru you. But even thin armor won't much care.

Thank you. Do you have the dates when the various models of Panzerfaust first saw front line service?

The twin firing charge is similar to how modern ejection seats work. One large charge puts too much strain on the body but multiple small charges eject just as quickly without that strain.

One thing I have wondered is was the reason the Soviet RPG series designed the way it was due to the panzerfaust or was it a case of parallel design due to how shaped charges work? The latter panzerfaust designs are remarkably similar.

hah great topic always love the panzerfaust Well its always great to learn something new I never knew they were working on a Panzerfaust 250 thats very interesting I think I've mentioned it on this channel before but its probably been a few years. I had a Great Uncle who was just a mechanic but when his position was about to be overrun by Russian tanks he used panzerfausts to knockout a few tanks and stop the assault. He got an iron cross second class for this action. I've also mentioned this was the same poor fellow who got killed by the Night Witches because they dropped a bomb on him when he light a cigarette....poor guy.

Don't know if my comment will be noticed or not this late but still here's my opinion the Panzerfaust 150 and the supposed Panzerfaust 250 have been captured and used extensively by Soviets and Yugoslavians who after the war went on to make 3 indirect Descendants of them, Namely 1)RPG-1 (Prototype) and RPG 2 (improvement over RPG-1) for the Soviet Union and 2)RB M57 and RB-M58 ( M58 is basically an M57 with RPG-2 rounds sort of ) 44mm Anti Tank Rocket Launchers for Yugoslavia SFR. Some Influences however are also taken from other AT weapons of that time like the M1 Bazooka ( Safety trigger and Grip for both RPG and RB series ) . and a trigger mechanism based on cocking the hammer placed behind the trigger and pulling the trigger to release the hammer which then will strike the pin in the tube that in place will ignite the primer that is highly sensitive to sudden rapid physical change (kinda percussion cap like). it is a combination from Panzerfaust trigger mechanism placed upside down along a PIAT trigger and designed on the basis of revolver hammer is to be cocked and released. sorry for my bad way of describing but I am not that expert when it comes into firearms.
