Historical description:
The M45 Quadmount became one of the most distinctive and versatile anti-aircraft gun systems of the US Army. Thanks to its high rate of fire, it proved excellent for covering transport columns, stationary positions, and as an effective weapon against both aircraft and infantry. When mounted on the M20 trailer, it was mainly used as mobile protection for vital installations and military infrastructure, as well as support for front-line units. After WWII, its design was also used during the Korean War, confirming its reliability in tough combat conditions.
