Dogface21 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I was putzin round the net and ran into this, its twords the bottom of the page. Whuddya think, is it in CMBB? PanzerJager Bren(e) and others. The Panzershreck launchet idea is very cool, I dont know how effective it would be tho......

Cpl Carrot Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hehe reminds me of an article I read some time about some Canadians mounting their PIATS on bren carriers and using them like mortars. Can't remember where I read that tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface21 Posted October 20, 2001 Author Share Posted October 20, 2001 The site also mentions how the faust and shreck were used against infantry, but how effective would a shaped charge be against troops? I can see if you hit a tight bunch of troops dead on, that would certainly be messy, but as a area effect weapon, most of the force and shrapnel would go right into the ground wouldnt it? It would be cool to see that lil PzJager in action, even if its life span was short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumvir Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 There were special shrapnel rings that were placed around the faust head that would detonate and cause fragmentation damage. PanzerFaust Link The page is pretty good, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 My question is, were the Panzershrecks intended to be fired from the vehicle, as is alluded to on the site or were they instead dismounted by teams and fired away from the vehicle? If fired from the vehicle, then they'd have a hell of a backblast.... [ 10-20-2001: Message edited by: Brian ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
