Anti Tank Vespa

In Sweden, like other developing nations, we had our soldiers cycling with their anti tank weapons (first picture):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bicycle_infantry" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bicycle_infantry</a>

This must have inspired the Tuk-Tuk Boom Boom in Just Cause 2 and 4<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justcause.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tuk-Tuk_Boom_Boom_(JC2)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justcause.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tuk-Tuk_Boom_Boom_(JC2)</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justcause.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tuk-Tuk_Boom_Boom_(JC4)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justcause.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tuk-Tuk_Boom_Boom_(JC4)</a>

Finally a two wheeled vehicle that will command some respect in Amsterdam traffic. I&#x27;ll take it.

Still a thing.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eurasiantimes.com&#x2F;electric-bikes-in-ukraine-are-raining-missiles-on-russian-army&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eurasiantimes.com&#x2F;electric-bikes-in-ukraine-are-...</a>

&gt; enough speed to ram any vehicles if needed in an emergency<p>That was a surprising statement! A 37mph crash on a scooter isn&#x27;t going to leave you in particularly good shape for fighting.

All of you criticizing the mismatch of power between a Vespa and a tank simply do not understand the desperation felt by those living in countries occupied by the Germans during the war. In the 1950s Europe was poor, extremely traumatized, and people lived in fear of another war. This is a vehicle of desperation.

&gt; ...in an emergency it could be fired while in the frame, and while the scooter was moving.<p>You&#x27;d have to have balls of steel to fire that thing while riding the scooter. It&#x27;s recoilless, but you are sitting right on top of it.

Yes, we want you to take a motorcycle up against a tank. It&#x27;s cheaper, you&#x27;re expendable, and we will win with the budget we have.<p>You joined the Legion to die, and we are sending you where you can do that.<p>No, we do not cover you with life insurance.

I think I&#x27;ve just seen the perfect vehicle for commuting in Boston.

When I read the title I thought this might be some new programming fork, but was secretly hoping for ... an Anti Tank Vespa! And it is!

I was seeing these Napoleonic depictions of artillery piece being transported on a donkey&#x27;s back and never stopped wondering if they ever tried to fire directly from that poor donkey&#x27;s back.

I&#x27;ve never had any interest in driving a scooter until now, but there&#x27;s something tantalizing when I picture driving a big bazooka down my street.

Sadly nothing about how it fared in combat.

be sure to bring your spade mortar as well. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;37mm_spade_mortar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;37mm_spade_mortar</a>

Where is the state of the art at with self-driving two wheeled vehicles?

Sadly nothing about how these fared in combat, anyone have any insight?

The TIE fighter of its day

Sounds like the centrepiece of a fun combat game.
