Fallschirmjäger Weapons Teams

Infantry weapon teams are a vital part of any Bolt Action army, providing great tactical flexibility to your force. Sniper teams, anti-tank teams, and flamethrower teams are among the most common weapon types, providing your opponent with numerous challenges to overcome.

The Panzerschreck was a German development of the American Bazooka, first encountered in North Africa, firing a large-calibre hollow-charge rocket projectile. The back-blast from the weapon was so powerful that early teams wore protective cloaks and masks – later, the weapon was fitted with a blast shield that gave it a distinctive look. The Panzerschreck and disposable Panzerfaust had replaced the Panzerbüchse 39 anti-tank rifle by 1944.

During the Battle of Stalingrad, Russian snipers took such a heavy toll on the beleaguered Wehrmacht that the Germans began to train and equip their own marksmen to act as snipers. Various rifles were used for sniping, including the standard KAR-98K and semi-automatic Gewehr 43 rifles, all fitted with the high-quality ZF39 scope and loaded with precision ammunition.

Flamethrowers were used throughout the war and often employed against buildings or fortifications. In the latter half of the war, the Germans produced a lighter, smaller design that held enough fuel for a single burst – effectively a one-shot flamethrower – the Eintossflammenwerfe. It is not known, however, whether this weapon was ever actually used.
