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.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/diecast-model\/armor\/motor-city-classics-armored-fighting-vehicles\"\u003eMilitaria DieCast   Armored Fighting Vehicles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  Militaria DieCast   \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" range presents affordable, ready made diecast models of military vehicles in 1:43 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilitaria DieCast   \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" diecast vehicles feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal and plastic construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating turret, elevating cannon and accurate hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted, non-moving tracks and detailed non-rotating wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear acrylic display case to protect model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Militaria Die Cast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45615767879835,"sku":"23202-44","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/55723.jpg?v=1791909853","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/online-only-diamond-t-m16-mgmc-anti-aircraft-artillery-us-army-militaria-diecast-143-23202-44","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
