Firing a Fliegerfaust ( Rocket Launcher )

Here is the full Fliegerfaust Test fire video. The Fliegerfaust or Luftfaust is a World War 2 anti-air launcher made at the end of the war. My book on the topic will be coming out soon when it is finished from formatting. Thank you to a couple TFB writers; Nick Chen () & Lucas D for coming out to film this test launch. The quality of footage that came out is incredible. Legal disclaimer: All Local, State and Federal laws are followed in the making of this video. The launcher is a registered destructive device with the ATF that is volley fire like the 40mm 22lr beehive rounds, all the rockets are ignited at the same time however, due to the laws around igniters, the approved igniters used in the design have an inconsistence ignition with the fuel and leave the barrel at a slightly different time creating a rapid-fire effect. Each rocket is fired in its own separate Barrel and no two rockets are fired through the same barrel per shot. The Panzerfaust although registered as a destructive device, after further communication with the ATF directly, it is belived it does not meet the definition of a destructive device as it does not use any fixed ammunition and would fall in the category of a cannon or muzzle loading rifle. This is not a final ruling so don’t build anything without consulting a lawyer or ATF directly. No explosive material is used in the making in this video, all fuel, igniters and propellant have either an exemption, preapproval or does not meet the definition of an explosive. All projectiles are inert. Instagram Link:
