War Scooter-Nostalgia Photo

Canaletto

Mod, aku dah cuba search untuk thread ni tapi takde, tapi kalau ada Mod boleh tolong mergekan ok!

War Scooter - Vespa

Aku dapat photo ni dari member dan dipercayai Vespa ini digunakan semasa era Cold War (pasal model Vespa ni keluar tahun 50an!) dan digunakan untuk anti tank atau anti bunker lebih kurang yang sama kita gunakan 105mm recoile gun but this one kecil lagi maybe 70-90mm. Aku try google cari dalam Wikipedia dan sumber-seumber lain tapi tak dapt.

Anyway, aku pasti operator mengalami mimpi ngeri operate senjata ni pasal recoil, back blasting signature apatah lagi one or two man operator.  

So kalau ada kawan-kawan yang boleh bantu .

Recoilless rifle..mana ada recoil da tapi backblast tu brutal la jugak.

Anyway, kalau tak salah vespa tu jadi carrier aje.

Thanks and noted Alpha!

But I don't think the Vespa was a weapon carrier pasal gun tu duduk bawak sit Vespa tu and impossible to take it out before fire, besides mana tripod dia? Kalau perati 2nd photo Vespa tu ada stand dia (terletak dibelakang bawah vehicle) which aku suspect to be used as a tripod masa nak fire gun tersebut.

Kalau gun sebesar tu takan pakai letak kat bahu and tembak...mau barai bahu bai!!!

I like those old war scooters that can split up when they come across a tree and join back after that.

Hmmm...Bazooka Vespa & can be fired within the frame itself & deployed via parachute...interesting!!!

ada comment dari readers dlm link kedua tu..some interesting notes

I'm the owner of such a Vespa TAP Military Scooter and also search information for several years now. There is a "huge hill" of wrong information written. The person who was write the M20 75mm could fired from the shoulder of a strong man didn't have seen ever this canon in real or did transportet it from one point to another point. The manual from the US Military is speaking of a six man team. The firing was every time from a tripod which was also transported with this Vespa. Normaly a collector has only the Vespa and the M20 75mm. Firing fixed from the Vespa was impossible, because by driving you didn't had any change to be in a fixed route. But there are also other different points because it's impossible.

The Vespa had his own constructed motor and never ever a surplus starter motor from a aircraft. This is realy a fairytale.

Again: "I'm sure that the rifle was designed to be fired whilst installed on the scooter."

I was spoken with a old military soldier from the french army who was ridding such a Vespa in Algeria. IT WAS IMPOSSIPLE TO DO THIS. Also the had big problems with this Vespa and their 8" wheels in the sand to drive with this complete package (6 rockets, tripot, M20 75 MM, driver, diff. small things, some fuel add.). The conception was changed into Vespa scooter with a radio equipment in a trailer (as seen also on photos from the museum of piaggio).
