There's a donkey camping the spawn

I can definitely visualize a female 300lb lesbian biker riding this, with a flannel shirt and a wallet attached to her belt with a chain. Much like the one in front on this motorcycle.

Max reverse speed 15 mph

Max reverse speed while firing 115 mph

poor donkey its ears must get burnt lol

how the hell could you fire this thing while moving?  I'd love to see footage of this in the testing phase to see how many troops they sent into orbit before finally getting the technique down pat.

  Another thing I can't help but bring up while I'm sitting here laughing my bellybutton off over the fact that someone actually invented this thing an then actually USED it.  Remember when you were a kid on your bicycle and when you stopped too fast you would fall off the seat and bust your nuts on the bike's frame?  There had to be some poor sucker that went to fire this thing while still mounted and well.....

It worked quite well with the French forces in Algeria and Indonesia.  Since it was a recoiless rifle and not a cannon, firing it on the move was quite possible and as was mentioned before, some crews became very proficient on firing on the move and even loading the recoiless on the move.


ack-ack

Where did you find THAT?
Well, I guess the only thing worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one...

And a little fyi... that's no a gun, it's the same purpose as the b-25's nose gun... an emergency brake for those "oh $*@%" overshoots.

Better not mix up the button of the horn with the trigger!

In both cases, the guy in front of you will know you want to pass
