Panzerfaust 60 Anti-Tank Disposable Rocket Launcher (1943)
The Panzerfaust 60 was an improved version of the classic Panzerfaust 30 anti-tank system and became the most common form.
The Panzerfaust 60 differed slightly from the other Panzerfausts before it. Compared to the Panzerfaust 30 "klein", the 60 utilized the larger 150mm projectile warhead, but was similar in design to the Panzerfaust 30, using the same projectile but with a greater effective range and higher muzzle velocity. The Panzerfaust 60 was succeeded by the increased-range Panzerfaust 100. All of these Panzerfaust systems also utilized a disposable firing tube, though plans and testing were underway for reusable tube systems in the Panzerfaust 150 and the Panzerfaust 200 - though these were not completed by the fall of Germany in 1945.
