description: The M45 Quadmount (nicknamed the "meat chopper" and "Krautmower" for
|
|
its high rate of fire) was a weapon mounting consisting of four of the "HB", or
|
|
"heavy barrel" .50 caliber M2 Browning machine guns mounted in pairs on each side
|
|
of an open, electrically powered turret. It was developed by the W. L. Maxson Corporation
|
|
to replace the earlier M33 twin mount (also from Maxson). Although designed as an
|
|
anti-aircraft weapon, it was also used against ground targets. Introduced in 1943
|
|
during World War II, it remained in US service as late as the Vietnam War.
