For our upcoming event we at MOA needed to increase our anti-vehicle weaponry. Until now we've used grenades and a Pak38 but lets face it, that Pak can't make every event (trailering and logisitics) so we needed handheld anti-armor weapons. As usual, Gryphon had experience in this area and BA64 had a spare 12g CO2 cartridge cylinder at hand and we commissioned the construction of a new improved panzerfaust. The ordnance tan colored panzerfaust was built awhile back and while it looks nice suffers from a very short barrel. In order to take out a tank with this device you need to be very, very close. The improved version has the longer barrel but does sacrifice looks. But overall I think it it worth it. It shoots a neat little straight line 40-ft or so and therefore is a real threat. The Pak is still king of the hill and far out ranges these weapons as it should but that is another selling point. Better clear the road with infantry first before you just drive down it. Together they will give the side facing armor a chance to win. The pics show initial last minute paint jobs but a better stencil is available and after this weekend's event, I plan to spruce up the paint jobs. But these will have to do for now. Now we have to figure out who carries them.   starting out  The internals are pretty simple. Plumber fittings and epoxy with some wood work and special molding plastics applied at the head.  Ready for the field. I better order some tank destruction patches.  |

I made one of those when we first started out a couple years back. Coming from a paintball background it seemed like a logical transition. Your warhead looks much better than mine but the same 1/4 turn ball valve I see. Good job. We could shoot nerf footballs more than 200 feet with ours with a slight elevation on it. Give those Ruskis something to worry about Jack. |

Just so no one thinks I would EVER grab credit for anyone else's work be clear that Gryphon did the lion's share of work on these. He has some secret project up his sleeve too. Wouldn't hint at what. I think we'll see it at Autumn Advance. The Soviets will soon have a mortar is my guess and once he gets the SVT-40 bolt-on kit produced for AGM M-14's they'll be quite ubiquitous in the hands of their murderous followers. Yikes! |
