Someone should really get the commons image of the luftfaust onto here, but I don't know how to do it The Sanctuary Sparrow ( talk) 07:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Neither do i, but a picture would be great. Slaughtor1 ( talk) 17:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I threw up a link to a good picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slaughtor1 ( talk • contribs) 17:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Manpads are shoulder fired surface to air missiles. Since the Fliegerfaust doesn't include any sort of guidance at all it's not a MANPADS any more than a Minimi on an air defence tripod is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrthiel ( talk • contribs) 21:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
This project sounds like a post-War or even modern day fabrication. At least the part about it being seriously considered. Even without guidance technology available, the man portable AA system that would be effective is rather obvious - high caliber recoiless rifle with proximity fuse. RIP CAS planes. However even simpler airburst timed/altitude/distance fuses would have been more effective then this monster. 20mm had shown itself as basically useless in this role due to it's low strength and was pressed away in all other attempts to defend from air attacks to 30-37mm rounds. And then suddenly they come up with that bizzare thing that has no basis in logic? And no, excuses like "they were nazis, they developed things like Ratte" are not a viable explanation here(especially when half an internet believes that P.1500 Monster was also developed and isn't a fake). So, any suggestions how someone justified this thing would take down planes? 93.125.106.93 ( talk) 09:29, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
