Sniper teams, anti-tank teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panzerschreck was a German development of the American bazooka, first encountered in North Africa, firing a large calibre shaped-charge rocket projectile. The back-blast from the weapon was so intense that early teams wore protective capes and masks - later a blast shield was fitted to the weapon giving it a distinctive appearance. The Panzerschreck and disposable anti-tank Panzerfaust had replaced the Panzerbuchse 39 anti-tank rifle by 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the battle of Stalingrad, Russian snipers took such a heavy toll upon the beleaguered Wehrmacht that the Germans began to train and equip their own marksmen to undertake a specialist role as snipers. A variety of rifles were used for sniping, including the standard KAR-98K and the semi-automatic Gewehr 43, all fitted with the high quality ZF39 telescopic sight, and equipped with precision-manufactured ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlamethrowers - Flammenwerfer - were used through the war and were often employed against buildings or fortifications. During the latter part of the war, the Germans produced a lighter, smaller design that carried enough fuel for a single burst - effectively a one-shot flamethrower - the Eintossflammenwerfe. It is not known, however, whether this weapon was actually ever employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix Warlord Resin Figures\u003cbr\u003e\nPlastic Bases\u003cbr\u003e\nThree Order Dice\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Zatu Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56048393781626,"sku":"ZWG-402212111","price":14.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Waffen-SS-1943-45-Weapons-Teams.jpg?v=1760977576","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-au\/products\/waffen-ss-1943-45-weapons-teams","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
