They will die laughing, but they will die.

Meanwhile, armed Vespa riders in Japan...

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That's one heck of a battleaxe

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

I never made it past the first 2-3 episodes of flcl.

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Me neither. One of my friends was huge into it, though, so I got a lot of second-hand exposure.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

There are only six episodes.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but it's a really weird 6 episodes.

Maybe I'll give it another shake.

[-] tachikoma@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

But also there's a season 2 now. 😀

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There are three additional series, two of which were also released as movies.

But the original Fooly Cooly is just six episodes.

Sorry but this is bad ass

if only there was a way to make an anti tank gun look phenomenally ~~stupid~~ BASED…

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

[-] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Especially if it shows up behind their lines after being parachuted in.

[-] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Now that would be something to behold… tons of vespas, engines starting, coming down by parachutes…

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

After the last shot.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

If you told me this was captured from the Russians last week I’d believe you

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

They wish they’d have thought of it.

[-] Lon3star@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

You're gonna feel a slight pull to the left during tactical operation

The urbanist choice

Hon hon honning intensifies

[-] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Doctrine says this is to be used for shoot and scoot tactics exclusively.

The BOOM mobile

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

Nah, this thing fucks

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

Could have sworn I've seen old pre-AI versions of this image, but this one looks AI to me.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It does not look like AI at all

So are those reserve-pipes, in case the one at the front falls off?
