M6 gun motor carriage

The 37 mm gun motor carriage M6, also known as the M6 Fargo and given the designation WC55 by its manufacturer Dodge, was a modified Dodge WC52 light truck mounting a light anti-tank gun. It was a three-quarter-ton 4x4 truck with a rear-facing 37 mm M3 gun mounted in its bed, normally fired to the rear because the gun could not be fully depressed over the front without blast damage to the crew and windshield, and it carried eighty rounds. The US Army used it for infantry support and as a mobile anti-tank gun from late 1942 to January 1945 in the Mediterranean, European and Pacific theaters. Because it was unarmored and its gun was too small, it was poorly suited to modern warfare, and it was declared obsolete in January 1945. A total of 5,380 were built between April and October 1942.
