Scholars have discussed this issue for eons, if I bolt a DshKA to a cargo bike, is it a technical? We need to find an answer
As long as the gun is operated by a separate person from the pilot of the bicycle, yes it is.
Does the weapon need to be affixed to the vechicle to be a technical?

Or is it just a troop carrier?
Show
in my made-up criteria, as long as the other passenger can operate the weapon effectively while in motion, I think it qualifies
Okay, good, thank you for the input. What if I bolt that fucker on an Omnium Cargo
Show
and use the increased height load plattform to do it myself?
I think that’s just a form of velocalvary if it’s only one person involved. If the gun is too powerful to effectively use while riding, then maybe it would be considered velo-dragoon since fighting is done after dismounting.
I was ready to fight anyone on this but this comment has convinced me entirely
The invention of the modern bicycle (back then called safety bicycle) and the maxim machine gun are 1 year apart so why would it
i was thinking a bicycle wouldn't be a good platform for a machine gun
Silent, doesn't need fuel, mobile, nobody expects it - seems pretty good
