M3 Gun Motor Carriage

The M3 Gun Motor Carriage was an American-designed armored vehicle used during World War II. It was built on a tank chassis and equipped with a powerful artillery gun, typically a 75mm or 37mm gun, for supporting infantry and engaging enemy targets. Its design prioritized mobility and firepower, allowing it to move across rough terrain and provide artillery support on the battlefield. The M3 served in several roles, including as a vehicle for mobile artillery and anti-tank combat, playing a crucial part in early wartime operations before being replaced by more advanced self-propelled guns.
