That's one heck of a battleaxe

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

As a wise man once said:

Edit: so these things are called 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.

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.

They wish they’d have thought of it.
