I want a Vespa

Preferably this model

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_150_TAP

Then I'm going to sort out the next **** that cuts me up

 

How wonderfully insane. I *think* there may be a ginger option as well,
but who GAF.

Wonder what would happen if you fired while moving.

To you? nothing as it is a rocket launcher, in effect.
I'd love one to despatch cunts loitering in lane 3 who refuse to pull over.

 

<sigh> It would be wonderful.

It's not actually a rocket launcher in what I would call a rocket
launcher, in that it doesn't launch rockets. Some of the propellant
from the shell is vented backwards. But who gives a ****, it *is*
what we want!

On a related note, it would appear to be a simple modification to get
it to fire one of these

Which would *really* sort out the **** in the Mercedes

 

I refer the honorable gentleman to the thread passim which demonstrated
that recoilless rifles are more of a statement of intent than fact....

"Both recoilless guns proved to have poor accuracy"

A bit worrying for a nuke, really.

 

Meh. As long as you're the one doing the firing, I don't think it really
matters.

You want accuracy *and* a nuke!? I thought the whole point was just
lob it in the general direction of the relevant banana republic we
don't like this week.

Having fired a shoulder-mounted 84mm recoilless rifle, I can say with
all honesty they're not actually that bad. They do move a bit but
that's all. The only possible issue to this was that I was firing TPTP
rounds (target practice tracer projectiles) so possibly they're
lighter and have less of a recoil. Still ruddy great 84mm slugs
though.

The only outstanding sensation I can recall was the odd feeling that
someone had taken a really hot towel off a radiator and flicked it
hard within an inch of my face at the moment of firing.

 

Cool
