Hi! My name is Martin. I come from a small mountain town in the Czech Republic. As I started playing with computer some time ago it is of course my hobby. As well as books, cottage, tourism, history and military.

Prototype weapons of WW2
Panzerfaust 150M (without pistol grip) and 250M (with pistol grip). German anti-tank grenade launchers. Warhead diameter of 150mm. They were to replace older Panzerfaust models.
The 150M was produced since March 1945 and featured a major redesign of the Panzefaust design because it had rechargable warheads up to 10 shots. Plus it had two-stage propellant for the projectile (higher speed, more range - 150m). It was used in the battle of Berlin.
The 250M featured a pistol grip with trigger. It was an improved version of 150M with longer range. War ended before end of development. It influenced the Russian RPG-2.
