For when you really want to get through traffic
 

Or when you get cut off

French scooter built after WW2 when France didn't have to money to build tanks. They mounted a recoilless rifle to a scooter with the intention of using it like mobile artillery. I don't know if they ever got to use it, but it doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

Looks like mounting the paintball gun will be a snap on the KZ after seeing that.

Looks like they got the balance thing figured out well.

So you sit on the barrel?
How do you get your feet down or does it balance itself?

Huh? Just like every other scooter, just put them on the ground. But I might not be understanding what you're asking. Barrel actually wouldn't be that big a hinderance while riding it. You would just have the barrel of a 75mm cannon between your knees, pretty much just like riding a normal motorcycle, only it's a scooter.

You have to get it up to 88 MPH before you shoot it though or it'll blast you backwards

talk about blowing a load from between your thighs. Bet that would feel "tingly"

No bulletproof windscreen?

Just seems really wide and tall. I guess when you are a shorter person you look at such things.

I saw those recoil-less rifles mounted on the back of Jeeps in Vietnam. I was a tank driver and we would sometimes guard ammo convoys heading up along Route 1. They could move quickly around the heavy Duece and a halfs. I never saw one fire, but it was pretty cool looking. I think it was mounted on the back passenger side.
