Nah, this thing fucks
Doctrine says this is to be used for shoot and scoot tactics exclusively.
They will die laughing, but they will die.
Meanwhile, armed Vespa riders in Japan...
I never made it past the first 2-3 episodes of flcl.
There are only six episodes.
Yeah, but it's a really weird 6 episodes.
That’s the best part!
Maybe I'll give it another shake.
But also there's a season 2 now. 😀
There are three additional series, two of which were also released as movies.
But the original Fooly Cooly is just six episodes.
Me neither. One of my friends was huge into it, though, so I got a lot of second-hand exposure.
That's one heck of a battleaxe
Sorry but this is bad ass
if only there was a way to make an anti tank gun look phenomenally ~~stupid~~ BASED…
FTFY
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.
If you told me this was captured from the Russians last week I’d believe you
They wish they’d have thought of it.
You're gonna feel a slight pull to the left during tactical operation
The urbanist choice
Hon hon honning intensifies
The BOOM mobile
So are those reserve-pipes, in case the one at the front falls off?
Could have sworn I've seen old pre-AI versions of this image, but this one looks AI to me.
It does not look like AI at all
The one in this picture is in a tank museum in France I think
"I can tell because of the pixels, and I've seen many Photoshops in my time."
