Vespa 150 TAP Scooter with Light Anti Armor Cannon
Seen at the new Vespa Museum is the decades-old 150 TAP, featuring a top speed of 40 mph and yes, an integrated M20 recoilless rifle / light anti-armor cannon. The 150 TAP was used by French special forces in the Algerian and second Indochina war, and about 500 of these were made. It used a 150cc two-stroke engine, and it was designed to be dropped into combat by parachute on a palette, protected by hay-bales, no less. Tricking this baby out back then meant changing the warheads for the M20, including smokescreen option. [via]
