Frankenfaust Rocket Launcher Details

The Panzerfaust is a German anti-tank weapon that was first introduced during World War II.

It was a relatively simple and inexpensive weapon that was designed to be used by infantry soldiers ragainst tanks and other armored vehicles. The Panzerfaust was a single-shot weapon that fired a shaped charge projectile, which could penetrate the armor of most Allied tanks.

The Frankenfaust is the all new 3D printed anti-tank weapon of the 21st century. It is designed by 3D printed rocket launcher expert Wild Arms Research & Development, creator of the M202 Flash, and fires 44mm projectiles.

If you install 44mm caliber barrels or use anti-personnel ammunition of a different caliber in a firearm, it would be classified as a Destructive Device under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This means that, as a US resident, you would need to submit an approved Form 1 in order to legally make the firearm.
