re: #381 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

France, believe it or not. They took a bunch of surplus US recoilless rifles, put them on Vespa scooters, and put them into the field as mobile anti-armor vehicles. They saw service in Algeria and Indochina.

They’re not to be fired while in motion, of course.

You want to see a Vespa? These chinese Vaspa hornets have started to inhabit in France… I met two of them in 2001… nasty, scary creatures…
