An idea off Pinterest that some here might find interesting

I found on Pinterest, a drawing of a small three wheel utility vehicle, a 1/32 Mazda K360, with a 4 gun mount of .50s, firing. This intrigued me enough to want to start something, like get a kit, if there is one, a quartet of .50s, and make the mount(unless I can raid something else). I've been trying to copy that so I can post it here, but alas, either I'm too stupid, or Pinterest won't let me. Which, at this point, means I'll have to post the model built, because this is even funkier a concept than an armed Bobcat. It really is sillier'n hell to look at and a lot of fun to speculate on(a whole fleet of these across the country side).

Well, I have on order  Arii Owners Club 1/32 1958 K360, really intrigued. I mean, years ago, I saw a Vespa with a recoilless rifle, and this strikes me just as ridiculous, and a fun build, scooter to guns, and, mebbe a few FnF missiles on the sides. But not ridiculously armed, realistic enough.

Here's a question: Is there a rotary cannon similar to the Vulcan, but small enough for this, and I already considered the minigun, but something larger caliber.

There's a real life 7.62mm Gatlingh gun - it's actually small enough to be held and fired by hand. Not certain about a kit of it in 1:32, but there's an M61 Vulcan brass kit in 1:72 available. Might work as a scale-o-rama dummy.

Those ARII Owners Clud 1/32 kits are repops of someone else's old moulds.  They have a large range including a number of different three wheelers.  Detail is nice but you may have a LOT of flash.
You could mount this on it.  Not much difference between 1/32 and 1/35.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I've a memory of that as well. For the life of me I can't remember where it was being used though ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

There's a 1/48 Vulcan too, with about as much difference 1/48 and 1/32
