The Great Nordic Biker War Had A Wile E. Coyote Aspect To It
Motorbikes are basically metal horses equipped with tanks full of dino-explode-juice, which are situated literal inches from your crotch. They are an inherently cartoonish concept, and, as a result, so was the Great Nordic Biker War, at least at times.
In 1997, the HAMC tried to assassinate a Bandidos member by sending him an electric razor that was secretly stuffed with plastic explosives. If the plot hadn’t been discovered, the biker would have blown himself up, together with most of his neighbors, the second he plugged in the razor.
A year earlier, the Bandidos MC set up a missile launcher in a factory next to a Hells Angel clubhouse in Hasslarp, Sweden, then tied a piece of string to the trigger, attached the other end to their car, and launched the projectile while flooring it and making their escape. Yeah, they literally used the method kids use to pull out their teeth as inspiration for an act of domestic terrorism. The attack did some structural damage but that’s about it. There’s a good reason why all these types of attacks had so few victims.
See, anti-tank missiles and grenades are specifically made to exploded upon impact with heavy armor. Like, in a tank. It’s right there in the same. When the ordnance hits anything softer like concrete or brick, though, it doesn’t always explode, like when the Undertakers MC fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the clubhouse of Overkill MC in Helsinki and it just got stuck in the wall while the Undertakers did their best Marvin the Martian impression.
