Armored Vehicle
This early attempt at an armored vehicle proved to be flawed. Some of the details the designers missed, proved to be pretty important.
a.) A bicycle drive system can only be pedaled forward. So this could be driven directly into battle, but not back out. Once you ran out of ammunition, you were as they say... a sitting duck.
b.) The only way back out of the battle area is to turn around. The failure to add rear and side armaments proved to be a crucial oversight.
c.) Bicycle tires tend to pop when you ride on anything other than a paved road. A battleground is hardly free of debris.
d.) The soldiers uniform was more suited for a 'spot of tea', than a barrage of flying bullets.
e.) Although not designed for lethal combat...I am thinking this design would be awesome if fitted with a paintball gun and if you had 2 or more of them... Kind of like Paintball Polo or something. Who's with me??!

f.) Paintball attack can be used to silence angry spouse, children or annoying pets.
