Geekery: This Ridable, Mini Sherman Tank Shoots Fireworks and Awesomeness

World of Tanks teamed up with makers Peter Sripol  and Sam Foskuhl for a special project to celebrate the 4th of July – so, of course, they built a mini Sherman that has a fireworks canon with a mobile turret.

The build is made with an old wheelchair motor, custom cut wood and metal gears and tracks, and electronic controls. It looks like a fairly straight forward build if you have the right equipment. Someone needs to build a Nerf mod for those of us that can’t legally shoot fireworks like Sripol can. I’d totally make a couple of rhinos and have ride around shootouts with friends.
