Militaria DieCast  1:43 No. 23202-44

The M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage, also known as the M16 Half-track, was an American self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon built during the Second World War. It was equipped with four M2 Browning 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) machine guns in an M45 Quadmount. 2,700 examples were produced by White Motor Company between May 1943 and March 1944, with 568 MGMC M13s and 109 T10 half-tracks also converted to M16s. Based on an M3 half-track chassis, it replaced the M13 MGMC half-track after the beginning of 1944. As aircraft became more advanced, the M16's usefulness was reduced. During the Korean War, it was relegated mainly to a ground-support role, being decommissioned from the US Army in 1951. Nicknamed the "Meat Chopper", the M16 was famous for its effectiveness against low-flying aircraft and infantry, making it extremely popular with soldiers.
