If you ever have the chance to visit the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, during the educational talk they discuss why the Dutch army wasn’t able to resist the German tanks. They show this picture, and at least on our tour said it was ok to laugh.
What’s on the rear rack? Explosives?
Lol why did they put wheels on the wheels?
Probably for easy moving for a place like a museum?
But it has wheels for easy moving.
The modern version:
The USAians will put a gun on and into anything, won’t they?
That gun needs to be mounted further forward, and higher
My guess is its designed to be shot only when parked
Looks like you’re meant to dismount and use the saddle as an armrest
No. It has been my dream to have a crotch operated machine gun mounted to a fixed gear bicycle and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let you take that away from me.
Ohh, sorry. It’s the handle and trigger that need an upgrade. I don’t know your anatomy but there might be sex specific models
Worked for Luigi lmao
This doesnt make sense
Us military? Pretty sure I saw this in detroit last week…just some guy.
A fixie without brakes? With that weight on the handle bar? With the most awkward stance because of that huge metal column piercing the riders sternum?
They really didn’t like their soldiers, didn’t they?
Pull the trigger to use your state-of-the-art recoil-assisted braking system.
this reminds me of gta vice city. I used to enable the cheat that allowed cars to fly. One problem: once the car was off the ground it lost traction and all power.
solution: spawn a tank, turn the turret backwards, and use recoil as the airborne thrust.
back then they were still trying to find a way to securely stop these bikes ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake
Balancing on that must be shit
recoil
Whats that?
Newton’s 3rd law.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Shoot the gun, and the bike will get pushed in the opposite direction and be hard to control.
The recoil wouldn’t be that bad. Apparently the M1895 was loaded with 6mm Lee Navy at around 2,200J muzzle velocity and a cyclic fire of 450/min. That’s quite manageable. In comparison, the M249 is a shoulder mounted gun of 1,800J, 850/min. That’s 50% more recoil to manage without a bicycle frame to support the firearm.
Ok, but the bike frame isn’t stationary. With a shoulder-mounted weapon you can brace for the recoil with your legs. If you are trying to move forward and shoot at the same time, firing the gun will slow you down. If you try to turn and shoot at the same time, the recoil will push your front wheel in the opposite direction that you are trying to go while your back wheel keeps trying to go forward which is very unstable.
