M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage
M16 MGMC - M3 based Multiple Gun Motor Carriage equipped with the Maxson M45 Quadmount (more specifically the M45D) with 4 M2HB machine guns.
The rear compartment had all its internal fittings removed and the M45 mount was fitted. The mount had to be raised 6" / 152 mm to clear the sides. There was no rear door and the tops of the sides were hinged so that they could be lowered.
Traverse 60° per second. 400-500 rounds per minute. There was enough ammunition carried to allow the M16 to fire for eight minutes of sustained fire. Range of 7,200 yards.
The gunner would sit on a seat reclined at 45°. The sight was positioned so that the gunner could follow the sight so he wouldn't have to move. The control grips were on a handlebar that were located on a post between his knees. By rotating the handlebar would rotate the gun or raise and lower it.
Ive used the BA Browning MG's instead of 50 cals as they look much better then brick built 50's and they fit my scale much better.
Another model ive had for a while..was gonna re shoot this one too but again no point...happy holidays to all...enjoy your time off... be generous with your time with your family..with your love...be generous with your life
