The Panzerfaust was a hand-held German anti-tank weapon with a hollow-charge/shaped-charge warhead. It is quite known due its shape and name, but the question is, how effective was it actually? This video describe the basics working of the Panzerfaust and also looks at the kill numbers and compares them with other close combat weapons, like the Panzerschreck and anti-tank guns (PaK).
