The Vespa 150 TAP was an 'anti-tank' scooter made in the 1950s from a Vespa scooter for use with French paratroops (troupes aéroportées, TAP). Introduced in 1956 and updated in 1959.
Modifications from the civilian Vespa included a reinforced frame and a 75 mm (3.0 in) recoilless rifle mounted to the scooter (obvs).

The Musée des Blindés has it's own room for this contraption, called the "Curiosity Room" where it sits alongside vehicles used in films and such.
