The Panzerfaust 30 was a one-shot disposable weapon. While its range limited to only 100 feet (30 metres), in the hands of a determined operator it was certainly lethal. The hollow-charge head of the grenade contained enough high explosive to penetrate even the thickest tank armor. The next two models of the weapon were given larger propellant charges in order to drive grenades to distances of up to 60 and 100 metres (about 200 and 330 feet), respectively. The Panzerfaust 100, which entered service in November 1944, weighed 5 kg (11 pounds), was 104 cm (41 inches) long, and launched a grenade containing 1.6 kg (3.5 pounds) of high explosive. The exhaust from the propellant charge exited the rear end of the tube, making the Panzerfaust a recoilless weapon.
