Clarkson might not have squawked so much about having to ride a Vespa in Vietnam if he'd had this one. Of course JC and May might not have been so quick to pull pranks on Hammond had he been riding this one instead of that Soviet beater.
And now, the cheap shot: "What use would this be to the French Army? They'd have to ride TOWARDS the enemy to fire the gun!"
You know, first thing that occurred to me when I saw this was, "isn't it convenient, a recoilless rifle being dangerous in both the forward and sternward directions?" But with an almost superhuman effort, I refrained from taking the, as you put if, c palmer, cheap shot.
Of course, now I pretty much had to say it. Thanks, c palmer!
