Panzerfaust RPG Model 3D

The Panzerfaust (lit. "armor fist" or "tank fist", plural: Panzerfuste) is an inexpensive, single shot, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II. It consists of a small, disposable pre-loaded launch tube firing a high-explosive anti-tank warhead, and was intended to be operated by a single soldier. The Panzerfaust's direct ancestor was the similar, smaller-warhead Faustpatrone ordnance device. The Panzerfaust was in use from 1943 until the end of the war.[1][2] The weapon's concepts played an important part in the development of the later Russian RPG weapon systems such as the RPG-2.[citation needed] Most notably, the RPG-7 added a sustainer rocket motor to the grenade.
