| The Panzerfaust (Lit. Translation: Armor Fist) was an inexpensive, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II. It consisted of a small, disposable preloaded launch tube firing a high explosive anti-tank warhead, operated by a single soldier. The Panzerfaust remained in service in various versions until the end of the war. The Panzerfaust 150 variant was the basis for the development of the Soviet RPG-2 which later evolved into the RPG-7.
This particular model is of the Panzerfaust 60, the most commonly manufactured variant in the Panzerfaust family, with the first production of the 60 manufactured in 1944. Able to fire up to 60M in range with accuracy it was thus given the variant coded 60.
The Airsoft replica of the Panzerfaust 60 is manufactured by Shoei Works, and comes complete with realistic German markings all across the Panzerfaust. Like the real steel Panzerfaust, the Shoei Works Panzerfaust 60 features an improved flip-up Rear Sight and trigger mechanism with a 1:1 scale of the real steel variant 60. It comes in 2 parts: the Panzerfaust and the Warhead, both of which needs to be combined before the Launcher will work.
The Shoei Works Panzerfaust 60 replica fires standard Moscarts which can be accessed by twisting the Panzerfaust warhead CCW. Remember to remove the safety cap before firing!
