Our 3rd weekend teaser of 2020… By popular requests, we had to do an M16 MGMC!
The M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage (MGMC), nicknamed the „Meat Chopper“, was an American self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon built during WW2. It was equipped with four 0.5 inch M2 Browning machine guns in an M45 Quadmount. 2,700 were produced by White Motor Company from May 43 to Mar 44, with 568 M13 MGMCs and 109 T10 half-tracks being converted into M16s as well.
The M16 was famous for its effectiveness against low-flying aircraft and infantry, making it extremely popular with soldiers. In the Korean War, it was relegated primarily to the ground-support role, being put out of service in the US Army in 1954.
