As an American, I just thought this was normal. Do other countries not armor-plate their strollers? How do your children survive outings in public? (/S)
Why /s? You have bullet proof school backpacks ffs
For those who are wondering, this is an art installation called “Armoured Pram for Derry” by Eamonn O’Doherty, and appears to be from a 2016 “Making History” exhibition at Ulster Museum.
From what I can gather, it was created in 1991 but restored in 2012 after O’Doherty’s death.
Honey its a good stroller, the other ones wont even stop a 50 cal!
Fun fact: the APC the American army used in Vietnam had aluminum armor. This is on the face reasonable enough as aluminum is stronger than steel by weight, but the design left the armor incapable of stopping a .50cal fired from the MG the Vietnamese used… The first time.
It would stop it after the first penetration, meaning the bullets would bounce around inside the vehicle and turn everything inside into a meat slurry.
Wondering about those “making citizens” instructions on the wall.
oh look it’s a panzerkinderwagen
The mk2 has a cupola and machine gun.

It’s clearly in reaction to the ‘Odessa Steps’ scene in ‘Battleship Potemkin.’
Making Citizens
Did they also illustrate the war-hardened techniques for all the other necessary steps?
