A little off topic, I know, but look at this.....
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

The French come to the rescue......

How would you like to attack in a Armor wedge with a bunch of these?

Armed with a 75mm recoiless rifle......

"More impressively, the recoilless rifle could be fired effectively on the move by the best of the gun crews. Total cost? About $500 for the scooter and the recoilless rifle was war surplus. Were they successful military machines? Well, the French Army deployed about 800 armed scooters in wars conducted in both Algeria and Indochina."

Lets not get carried away here with the TAP - not all were armed with the RR most were unarmed liason versions and for every one that was armed there was also an ammunition vehicle.

Lastly only an idiot woiuld have tried to fire that while it was still attached to the vehicle - the handbook goes out of its way to actually forbid it!

Cool
