Shoots BBs? Kind of worthless then. Does it shoot nerf rockets or some other kind of anti vehicle ordinance? That's what you use these things for.

Looks like it just takes airsoft M203 shells, which means it can fire anything that a M203 can, from the BB shower grenades, to the ones that fire rubber or foam slugs. You can also just use the gas from the shells to propel NERF rockets or squash balls stuffed down the barrel.

I agree with Udet on this. This weapon fired a warhead designed to knock out tanks and vehicles,not as an anti-personel weapon. Do the people that design these weapons do ANY kind of research??

Rekkon, or anybody for that matter, do you know if 203 shells can hold the same volume of gas as a 12gram CO2 cartridge? If not, I suppose these could be modded to use a 12 gram as they seem more effective. Of course if you wanted to go that route you'd be better served by building your own.

Udet is right, another bb shower is worthless on the field, however speaking as a period airsoft player, carrying a functional panzerfaust is better than carrying a dummy one. Although, due to the current economic situation, making one is much more affordable option.

yeah, I guess that is the rule of thumb when it comes to ordnance. " It's always better to have firing rounds then dummy rounds". Given the choice I would buy this panzerfaust and mod it to fire that mad bull foam rocket. But beacuse its made in china you know they are going to make the same Panzerfaust that fires a foam rocket for $100 more.

I apologize for my newbie ignorance but is this the panzer faust used with nerf rockets as suggested and is there a source for these rockets as well. My search was unable to come up with any answer. With respect, Fritz

A bit off topic, but I beg your indulgence. This reminded me of something I was told during IOBC at Ft.Benning in 1971. LAWS were in use, but the platoon level AT weapon at the time was still the 90mm recoilless rifle. A pain to lug around, but some units in Vietnam had them for bunker busting, I guess. During the weapons course we were told that some people came up with a field expedient way to use them to defend fire bases. They'd plant posts outside the wire and nail pieces of plywood to them for targets. When the VC attacked they'd fire 90mm rounds at posts near a groups of attackers. Between the concussion and flying splinters it was very discouraging for Mr. Charles. Never saw it written down as an official use for the weapon, but it does show how ingenious the adolescent male mind is when given something explosive to play with. ;D I wonder if anything similar was ever done with either the bazooka or the panzerfaust.

It would definatley in certain instances knock the applesauce out of concrete bunkers. If it didn't punch through you can imagine how much it sucked to have chips of concrete flying around on the inside of one of those. Of course some bunkers were so thick they did nothing.
