Little noise, no thermal signature, low maintenance, way more fun than walking to war

Honestly, if you mounted some of these on a couple 1kw e-bikes with fat tires and suspension for better off-roading, you could get some nice hit-and-run squads, assuming you could clear or detect area-denial weapons.
Mount an MG on one, a recoil less rifle on another, maybe some form of rocket launcher for heavier armor.
It’s not going to take over any countries, but a fast attack force that can clear rough terrain quickly is worth it’s weight in gold.
5 bicycle boys vs 10000000 Gen 5 tanks and 27 lions, who wins?

Well, until you grab the wrong lever to brake.
Boost assist for uphill.
The GAU-8 Avenger fires up to sixty one-pound bullets a second. It produces almost five tons of recoil force, which is crazy considering that it’s mounted in a type of plane (the A-10 “Warthog”) whose two engines produce only four tons of thrust each. If you put two of them in one aircraft, and fired both guns forward while opening up the throttle, the guns would win and you’d accelerate backward.
To put it another way: If I mounted a GAU-8 on my car, put the car in neutral, and started firing backward from a standstill, I would be breaking the interstate speed limit in less than three seconds.
The gun sight seems unnecessary unless the rider is going to shoot out their own tire and wants accuracy.
I assume the idea is to ride to a good spot then use the bike from a kneeling position
I try not to get too hung up on logic but that makes sense.
That’s a hipster bicycle if I’ve ever seen one before. Remove the machine gun and it would fit right in at the Microsoft campus.
Look how they massacred our military style assault bikes of war

Meanwhile at the UK MoD:
“Sorry mate, our bike got nicked last week, will a shopping trolley do?”
Why does the bike wheels have extra small wheels.
I think it’s to preserve the original tires
