message: Even using bazooka as its source for design, this weapon was far better than bazooka, because:
1-It was far more powerfull.Bazooka couldn't defeat frontal armour of Tiger I or Tiger II tanks; while Parzerschreck could.
2-It was more reliable, than the bazooka, because of its use of better ignition system.Agre22 (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For certain values of "better".  The Panzerschreck is also ten pounds heavier and a foot longer, while the ammunition weighs twice as much. --Carnildo (talk) 01:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Not sure if the Service use timeline is correct. It states 1943-1945 as the general timeline but i have read and seen in many documentaries that the Panzerschreck was first introduced to the Wehrmacht in Aug of 1945.

:"August of 1945" can't possibly be right: World War II in Europe ended on May 8. --Carnildo (talk) 01:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you perhaps thinking of the Panzerfaust? That came later - without looking it up August 1944 would seem reasonable. Definitely not 1945...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.242.7 (talk) 13:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Service Use 

message: I would again submit that the use of calibre in the history section is both redundant and extrinsic, as regardless of any other /possible/ definition, the explicit _implication_ of the use of "caliber" in modern English is of a bore measurement in decimal percentages of an English-standard inch. As the weapon in question was never measured by anyone - American, British, German, or otherwise - in anything but millimeters (mm), referring to "calibre" is grossly unnecessary. 
If a substitute is necessary to convey /what/ is being measured, I suggest "in diameter" would suit more appropriately without lending confusion or the poor grammar / readability of the current sentence structure. The simple fact that all Imperial measurements have a Metric equivalent (since they are simply measures) does not equate to an interchange between the subject measurements in question. ".38", in and of itself, without the caliber qualifier, could imply many things, however "88mm" is very obviously by itself a measurement, and the fact that said measurement is being stated in an article clearly about an anti-tank weapon makes it plain _what_ is being measured to anyone with basic English skills.

replies: text: "Caliber" or "calibre" is simply the English version of the German "Kaliber", French "calibre", Arabic ‏قالب‎, Greek καλαπόδιον, take your pick. The fact that most anglo-american weapons measure their caliber in (fractions of) inches doesn't mean that "caliber" implies inches. 8.8cm is just as well a "caliber" as e.g. 3", 9mm just as well as .38. Insisting on "diameter" because the measurement is metric instead of imperial is severely misguided. -- DevSolar (talk) 09:04, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of "caliber" (calibre) 

message: (For all I know, the error's on the German page.)  Take a look at the photo in article+section http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raketenpanzerb%C3%BCchse_54#Technik. The caption there says "Front: A Panzerschreck projectile. In back: A Panzerfaust."  Note that if the present English article and English Panzerfaust have the correct photos, then apparently it would be the German caption that has them reversed...?
(Then again, I could be totally wrong... But somebody take a look.)
I have posted this at Talk page for Panzerfaust as well.IfYouDoIfYouDon't (talk) 07:28, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
