Imply Panzerfaust

BUR #51251 has been rejected.

create implication panzerfaust -> rocket_launcher

For the same reason as the Panzerfaust 3 with less posts.

BUR #51254 has been rejected.

create implication panzerfaust -> grenade_launcher

Alternate option for those who disagree due to technical reasons. Since the propellant burns away inside the tube to launch the anti-tank grenade instead of staying with the projectile during flight.

This is one of those weapons that don't fully fit under either categories, mostly because it predates them.

Not at all, actually. The Panzerfaust in fact superseded the Panzerschreck, which was a rocket launcher based off the American M1 Bazooka. The real issue is that the Panzerfaust is neither a rocket launcher nor a grenade launcher. It's a recoilless rifle, where a charge sends an explosive shell at the target.

Unfortunately, for some reason the recoilless rifle tag is aliased to rocket launcher, so we're stuck trying to fit it into categories it doesn't fit into.

The bazooka, the panzerfaust and the panzershreck emerged during WWII. Modern portable rocket launchers as the broad category we are trying to tag here didn't emerge until after that war.

We're trying to force the panzerfaust into a binary system, when it was an experiment in the middle.

Since you guys don't consider it to be rocket launcher or grenade launcher.
