	Faustpatrone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Faustpatrone (lit.: 'fist cartridge') was a German anti-tank weapon of early World War II, it was said to have been the prototype for the Panzerfaust (armored or tank fist).
		Development of the so-called Faustpatrone ("Fist-Cartridge") started in the summer of 1942 at the German company HASAG with the development of the smaller forerunner-prototype called "Gretchen" ("Little Gretel") by a team headed by Dr. Heinrich Langweiler in Leipzig.
		Soon a crude aiming device similar to the one used by the Panzerfaust was added to the design; it was fixed at a range of 30 m (100 ft).

		The Faustpatrone klein 30 ('Fist-Cartridge small') had a total weight of 3.2kg and a total length of 98.5cm.
		Caution had to be paid to the back blast of the weapon as it created an explosive blast up to 3m (10ft) to the rear of the tube.
		The size of the warhead was increased, to prevent the ricochet effect of the Faustpatrone.

		The new German Faustpatrone, a recoilless antitank hollow-charge grenade with expendable launcher, designed as a basic close-combat antitank weapon, is the latest German development in close-combat antitank matériel.
		Sometimes a second-in-command and a runner may be added, the runner carrying ammunition from the rear, and both replacing casualties and engaging crews from damaged tanks.
		The section may also be equipped with either model of the Faustpatrone and the usual variety of close-combat antitank equipment, such as magnetic hollow-charges, smoke grenades, Molotov cocktails, sliding mines, pole charges, plus sub-machine guns, pistols, rifles, and hand grenades.

		It had a muzzle velocity of 30 meters per second, and its.75 kg warhead was capable of penetrating 140mm of armor at a 30 degree angle.
		The unusual shape of the wind-cone on the front of this grenade often prevented this weapon from detonating on the extremely-sloped armor of some Russian tanks, and this problem was partially redressed in the second model known as Faustpatrone II.
		The redesigned trigger mechanism of the 60m also gave the operator some options in firing positions (like the over-shoulder position) which were not practical with the push-button trigger of the earlier models.

		The difference between the 2 was that the Faustpatrone had a more needle like nose on the shaped charge but this was unable to effectivle penatrate sloped armour like that of the t-34.
		The webpages I find all state that summer 1942 was the start of the development for the faustpatrone and they used the findings from the work on the "Gretchen" forerunner from 1941, thus giving a complete development phase of 1941-43 before any major deliveries took place.
		Faustpatrone cutawaySince these problems surfaced already early in testing, the development and production of it's successor, the Panzerfaust 30, had already begun by the time of the first deliveries.

		Originally HASAG developed the Faustpatrone 1, (Fist Cartridge 1), nicknamed "Gretchen", followed by the "Faustpatrone 2", also referred to as the "Panzerfaust 30", (Armored Fist 30).
		In July 1943 the Faustpatrone 1 was field tested and the first five thousand Faustpatrone 1's were issued to personnel in the field in August that year.
		Also Of Note: Both the Faustpatrone 1 and the Faustpatrone 2 were found to have insufficient penetrating power so further developments lead to the Panzerfaust 60 in August 1944.

		Yes, the Faustpatrone was an early name for the Panzerfaust (the early Kleine Panzerfaust, that is), simply replace "Faustpatrone" with "Panzerfaust".
		Here´s some info on the "Faustpatrone" which was indeed an early version of the Panzerfaust.

		There is no Panzerfaust 30 (or 60) in the mod, just the faustpatrone and panzerfaust 100.
		Fh has panzerfaust 30 klein (faustpatrone) and panzerfaust 100 and that's that.
		So the introduction date August 1943 is for the Faustpatrone (Panzerfaust 30 klein), and the Panzerfaust 30 was introduced even later.

		The amount of explosive was doubled over the Faustpatrone to 800g of 50/50 TNT/RDX, which in turn increased penetration to 200mm.

		The first of these new weapons was the Faustpatrone, or 'fist cartridge', later renamed the Panzerfaust, 'armoured fist'.
