		<description><![CDATA[No need, IIRC tacnukes were eventually miniaturised small enough to fit into 155mm shells. Yeah, that means some of the TDs could in principle fire them too though whether that&#039;d be a good idea is debatable...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood propmakers were pretty creative recyclers those days - the Stormtroopers&#039; blasters are pretty much straight Sterling SMGs, you may have noticed. And Aliens and Robocop were positively brilliant in that regard.

That aside, these strike me as a bit too obscure to have been much of an inspiration for nigh anyone. And it&#039;s not like &quot;wheelform&quot; vehicles haven&#039;t been popping up every now and then in both sci-fi and probably also some more avant-garde semi-theoretical IRL vehicle concepts inbetween.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s also the little problem there&#039;s no way to keep the &#039;leccy from grounding through the first conductor it encounters (one of Tesla&#039;s more grandiose experiments apparently severely jolted a relatively nearby horse throught its shoes), and from what I&#039;ve read the receiver antennas in particular tended to melt.

Kind of a stupid idea to begin with given that for most practical intents and purposes air is an insulator.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[:O
First time someone accuses me of being a *German* fanboy! I must be doing something right to piss off people on both sides of the fence. :D

That aside, I bring your attention to the caveat &quot;something vaguely&quot; - and if you actually knew shit about the economics of fabricating capital-ship main guns (by what I&#039;ve read they usually took longer to finish than the entire rest of the ship) you&#039;d realise the concept had at least a vague degree of merit.
Technical feasibility and military viablity are whole different topics, ofc. AFAIK most people recycled surplus naval armements into coastal batteries or the like instead - the Swedes apparently used the turrets of their last &quot;coastal battleship&quot; in the triple-layered &quot;Maginot Line&quot; they built in the north of the country during the early Cold War (for the event of a Soviet attack through Finnish Lappland), for example.]]></description>
