Life-size WW2 Panzerfaust Rocket Launcher

Summary

Want a life-size WW2 Panzerfaust 100 rocket launcher?  This replica includes lots of moving parts -- a trigger that clicks, a sight that flips up, removable rockets, removable cap, and a removable safety pin.  It only takes a moment to assemble, no glue is needed, simply screw a few parts together and snap on the sights.

What is a Panzerfaust?  The Panzerfaust was a portable, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II, designed as a cheap and simple single-shot launcher for infantry. It utilized a shaped charge warhead capable of penetrating the armor of most contemporary Allied tanks at close range.  The Panzerfaust was similar in its role to the American Bazooka.  This is the Panzerfaust 100 version that was rated to go a maximum of 100 meters.  It is nearly identical to the Panzerfaust 30 and 60 versions, save for the “100m” on the replica warhead.

Assembly only takes a moment

No glue is required, simply screw together a some pieces and snap on a few.

1. Screw together the 4 main body segments like you see below.  Don't overtighten.

2. Insert the clicker box into the rectangular hole as you see below.  Make sure the pointy part is on the end closest to the tip of the rocket launcher.

3. Next, Snap the trigger and the front sight onto the body of the launcher as you see below.  Note that there are grooves/channels in the trigger and sight, so you if you line up the bump on the launcher with the groove/channel on the trigger and sight, it'll snap right on.

4. Then, assemble the rocket.  Screw together as you see below, and then use the 4 pegs to snap together the top and bottom of the warhead replica.  Use the looser pegs if you intend to use glue.

5. Lastly, insert the rocket into the rocket launcher tube – it will snap/pop when fully inserted.  It will require a tiny bit of force to remove again, this is on purpose so it doesn't fall out.  You can also insert the pin with the front-sight down if you want to.

6. Optionally, you can add the cap to the rear of the launcher, this would be removed in real life before it was fired.
