          Yeah, but it’s a really weird 6 episodes.

            There are three additional series, two of which were also released as movies.

            But the original Fooly Cooly is just six episodes.

        Me neither. One of my friends was huge into it, though, so I got a lot of second-hand exposure.

      As a wise man once said:

      “If it’s stupid but it works, then it’s not stupid.”

      Edit: so these things are called Vespa 150 TAP
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_150_TAP

      TL;DR: it was meant to be parachuted into the field in pairs, one with the bazooka and another with ammunition. The bazooka was actually not meant to be fired from the scooter. You were supposed to take it out, mount it on a tripod, and then fire.

      That’s a good question. It’s small, fast and agile so who knows? Might be quite the surprise for an enemy tank division of the same time period.

        Especially if it shows up behind their lines after being parachuted in.

    So are those reserve-pipes, in case the one at the front falls off?
