Original Item: Only One Available. The Panzerfaust 100 gross ("large") or Faustpatrone (Translated literally to mean: Tank Fist Large) was the fourth version of the Panzerfaust. This was the final version produced in quantity, and was completed in September 1944. However, it did not reach full production until November 1944. It had a nominal maximum range of 100 m (330 ft). 190 g (6.7 oz) of propellant launched the warhead at 60 m (200 ft) per second from a 6 cm (2.4 in) diameter tube. The sight had holes for 30, 60, 80 and 150 m (260 and 490 ft), and had luminous paint in them to make counting up to the correct one easier in the dark. This version weighed 6 kg (13 lb) and could penetrate 220 mm (8.7 in) of armor. This model was only produced for a few months before the war ended, so they are quite rare in ANY condition, even more so in this nice collectible state.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are NOT considered NFA weapons. This example has been demilitarized according to specifications by the BATF, with a round bore-width hole drilled into the tube and a steel cross pin welded across the bore to prevent loading. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

This ingenious throw away Rocket and Launcher was one of AH's last ditch weapons adopted by the Germans to try and repel the invading Allies on both the Eastern and Western fronts.

This example looks to be a "battlefield pickup” in relic condition. The head retains a small amount of original paint, but the rest of the projectile and launcher are in relic condition. It still has the original warhead and the base with the original wooden tail and some of the original fins remaining. The original label on the warhead is gone, and the range markings on the sight are basically gone as well.

The original sight still flips up, but the trigger no longer moves due to damage from oxidation. The internal components are rusted in place. The warhead also is wedged/stuck in the fin section of the rocket. Also please note the "charge retention screw" hole on the bottom of the launcher, which is about 7 inches closer to the rear than the trigger. The screw is no longer present but the hole is there. If this was a Panzerfaust 60 m, they would be at the same location. Only with the 100 m with the larger charge was this screw 7 inches below the trigger. The welding spot below the trigger is actually from the steel cross pin being welded on.

This is a very rare example and your chance to own an original Panzerfaust 100 m inert launcher and rocket set! Ready to display!

The Panzerfaust was a development family of single-shot man-portable anti-tank systems developed by NSDAP Germany during World War II. The weapons were the first single-use light anti-tank weapons based on a preloaded disposable launch tube, a weapon configuration which is still used today (two modern examples being the AT4 and NLAW).

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). After use the launcher was discarded.

Development of the Panzerfaust started in 1942. The initial design was dubbed Faustpatrone (lit. "fist-cartridge") and was smaller than the later designs. Later dubbed Panzerfaust Klein ("tank-fist small"), it entered service in 1943, the larger design being named Panzerfaust Gross ("tank-fist big") and entering service in mid to late 1944. All types were used by Germany until the end of the war, with the design remaining in use in other countries for a number of years after the war.
