Summary

Wild Arms Research and Developmemt has spent the last few years building destructive devices. Specifically, developing recoilless launchers and rocket launchers like the Panzerfaust and Fliegerfaust, and then publishing the research for public edification. Isaac Botkin and Jonathan Wild have a free-ranging discussion on munitions design, launcher research, and the two books they have produced so far:

Man Portable Air Defense System : Fliegerfaust
Expedient Recoilless Launcher: Panzerfaust

And, check out video of test firings of the Fliegerfaust: https://youtu.be/5fskM6iUSbA

0:00.0	You know, All right, so welcome to another T-Rex Talk podcast. This is Isaac Botkin, and I have with me a special
0:44.0	guest this week. I am talking to Jonathan Wilde, better known to some of you on the internet as
0:49.8	Wild Arms Research and Development. And what wild arms research and development, primarily

1:27.3	There's just no kabum at the end.
1:29.5	Hopefully one day when we get a license, we will have the kabum. But for now, what we like to do
1:36.6	is historically research launchers from history. For for now it's been World War II.
1:44.4	Uh, but we're branching out to,
1:45.9	uh,
1:46.2	you know,

1:50.3	We test it and we write books,
