A small selection of class 1 faust. As you can see they can range from single purpose sword or gun type faust to complicated "chibi" or SD versions of bigger destroid units (refering to the small shinobi looking faust). They serve the function of pawn type troops but don't discount there outright power because in numbers they can take down even large foes. Generally due to their simpler nature a Sturmtiger pilot can control a larger amount of type 1 faust versus higher number of faust. Though the pilot does have the option of controlling smaller number of powerful faust rather then a large number of simpler faust. In practice most pilot go for a mixture of forces to balance out there fighting force.
Most type 1 faust can be produced in a matter of minutes and with multiple production lines in a typical Sturmtiger body a few hundred can be produced every few minutes or so.
