The Vespa 150 TAP (Troupes Aero Portees) was built for use in the 1950's Algerian War. *Basically it was a standard Vespa 150cc scooter which had been modified to carry a 75mm Mk 20 recoilless rifle. They were designed to work together in pairs, with one scooter carrying the rifle and the other the ammunition. *Due to their small size, they could be packed into cargo containers and dropped from an airplane behind enemy lines. *Once on the ground, the riders would assemble the scooters, load the weapon/ammo and be on their way. *Since the rifle was recoilless, it could be discharged while mounted to the scooter, but generally it would be removed and mounted to a tripod. *These were incredibly cheap to build, costing only about $500 a piece since the rifles were US WWII surplus. *They rifle had a range of 6400 meters and could penetrate armor up to 100 mm thick, which would make it perfect for getting through rush hour traffic...
i don't think anyone would bitch about you splitting lanes up to the front of traffic on that vespa. not your typical hipster scooter for sure
