The two major types of Panzerfausts used by the Finns are Panzerfaust Kleins and Panzerfaust 30s. I recently picked up one of the firing replicas being made by a member of the CHG. I used it at the last major CHG armored battle (Camp Roberts, March 09) and I have to report being very satisfied by the weapon. Of course, it helps having low standards, as I've seen many reproduction fausts bust on firing the first shot, but I have to commend the firing system used. It's simple and most importantly robust. It is simply a crude black powder percussion cap weapon with very few moving parts that can break. The best thing is the price, $100. I encourage all members of 2 Jäger Battalion to acquire one if they can.
