From wikipedia.org:

"The Panzerfaust (plural: Panzerfäuste, literally: armor fist [also means gauntlet] or tank fist) was an inexpensive, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II. It consisted of a small, disposable preloaded recoilless gun - not rocket propelled, as commonly believed. It replaced the earlier Faustpatrone in service, and survived to the end of the war in various versions. Parts of the Panzerfaust concept can be considered to be the pattern on which the RPG-7 was designed."

The Panzerfaust is part of the infantry weaponry fielded by the troops of Imperial Germany in World War 3, most notably used by the motorized infantry divisions.
