Scholars have discussed this issue for eons, if I bolt a DshKA to a cargo bike, is it a technical? We need to find an answer
As long as the gun is operated by a separate person from the pilot of the bicycle, yes it is.
Okay, good, thank you for the input. What if I bolt that fucker on an Omnium Cargo
and use the increased height load plattform to do it myself?
I think that’s just a form of velocalvary if it’s only one person involved. If the gun is too powerful to effectively use while riding, then maybe it would be considered velo-dragoon since fighting is done after dismounting.
I was ready to fight anyone on this but this comment has convinced me entirely
Does the weapon need to be affixed to the vechicle to be a technical?
Or is it just a troop carrier?
Squad goals
in my made-up criteria, as long as the other passenger can operate the weapon effectively while in motion, I think it qualifies
So you’re saying it’s TECHNICALly yes?
Would a ballistica be more appropriate?
The invention of the modern bicycle (back then called safety bicycle) and the maxim machine gun are 1 year apart so why would it
i was thinking a bicycle wouldn’t be a good platform for a machine gun
Silent, doesn’t need fuel, mobile, nobody expects it - seems pretty good
