Well it’s one of the many you have that you sold me at a ridiculous price. Plus it came without air in the tires, gas in the tank, nor munitions for the bazooka. I don’t know what kind of shoddy operations you’re running there mister.

I saw this last week on the Dan Akroyd Unbelievable show on History Channel. Had never heard of it before.
It's not a "bazooka," it's a 75mm M20 recoilless rifle.

I think you could build one of these yourself if the mood struck you. And it would (in most places) be completely legal.
For some time now I've been thinking of building a 1:1 scale model of a recoilless rifle as a potato-shooting "spud gun." I was looking at the M16 57mm, but there's no reason you couldn't go with the M20 75mm or even the M40 105mm--the principles would be the same for any size; the only difference would be the size of the materials you bought at Home Depot or Lowe's. I'd be shocked if you couldn't get a cool replica together for under $50. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there were plans for such a thing available on the 'net.
Build your spud gun and hang it on your own Vespa. Or...whatever. Now I'm thinking it would look hella-cool mounted on my cherry 1974 Schwinn Sting Ray.

Bad decision or bad shot?
One needs to think the other needs more range time.
