But does it work?
As a wise man once said:
"If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid."
Edit: so these things are called Vespa 150 TAP
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_150_TAP
TL;DR: it was meant to be parachuted into the field in pairs, one with the bazooka and another with ammunition. The bazooka was actually not meant to be fired from the scooter. You were supposed to take it out, mount it on a tripod, and then fire.
But... But... Skoota bazooka
Vespa Howitza
That’s a good question. It’s small, fast and agile so who knows? Might be quite the surprise for an enemy tank division of the same time period.
Especially if it shows up behind their lines after being parachuted in.
Now that would be something to behold… tons of vespas, engines starting, coming down by parachutes…
After the last shot.
