7.5 feet shy of 30M, but i get your point... 8^)
Panzerfaust 30 An improved version also appearing in August 1943, this version had a larger warhead for improved armor penetration, 200 mm (7.9 in), but the same range of 30 meters.
Panzerfaust 60 This was the most common version, with production starting in September 1944. It had a much more practical range of 60 m (66 yd), although with a muzzle velocity of only 45 m (148 ft) per second it would take 1.3 seconds for the warhead to reach a tank at that range. To achieve the higher velocity, the tube diameter was increased to 5 cm (2.0 in) and 134 g (4.7 oz) of propellant used. It also had an improved flip-up rear sight and trigger mechanism. The weapon now weighed 6.1 kg (13 lb). It could defeat 200 mm (7.9 in) of armor.
Panzerfaust 100 This was the final version produced in quantity, from November 1944 onwards. 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.
Panzerfaust 150 This was a major redesign of the weapon, and was deployed in limited numbers near the end of the war. The firing tube was reinforced and reusable for up to ten shots. A new pointed warhead with increased armor penetration and two-stage propellant ignition gave a higher velocity of 85 m (279 ft) per second. Production started in March 1945, two months before the end of the war.
Panzerfaust 250 Scheduled to enter production in September 1945. Similar to the 150, but with a longer tube and a handle with a trigger, similar to the RPG-2, for the user. The war ended before development had been completed.
after seeing the first Panzerfaust i always thought we were crazy to limit the size of our warhead to the diameter of the launch tube...
“...the bar of what constitutes a nail will keep getting lower and lower.They will keep using them to justify having them.”
Desensitization of the masses. The media will do its job of demonizing ppl who speak about it publicly. The internet obama-bee workers will go full-tilt with their “I’m-sure-there’s-a-rational-explanation-You-must-be-a-Nutwing.” Meanwhile, the masses will get used to seeing them and will rationalize away their suspicions.
OR, we COULD just all be paranoid. If that’s the case, they are instigating and actively feeding the paranoia. Why?
I would submit that both of the scenarios above are essentially one and the same. Different methodology; same outcome.
“It doesn’t bother you that you have to wait for an explanation? It didn’t bother you that it took six weeks and a filibuster in the Senate for the 0bamugamites to simply say “no, we will not kill Americans with drones based on suspicion alone?”
Did you ever answer this question? It’s a yes/no answer, but i can’t find it.
Are crickets in the same family as roaches? They resemble each other.
LOL I don’t know. They’re both insects and that’s about the limit of my knowledge of entomology.
So much for the “Sequester of Doom”, huh ?
They’ll cut the US military and build up the “civilian army” Oblahblah yakked about in 2008.
Anyone who doesn’t see this as a threat to our precious Liberty is nuts.
