ザ M19マルチガンモーターキャリッジ was a self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon developed by the United States during World War II. It was based on the chassis of the M24 Chaffee light tank and armed with two 40 mm Bofors guns mounted in an open-topped turret. The M19 was intended to provide mobile air defense for armored units, but it also proved effective against ground targets such as infantry, light vehicles, and bunkers.
M19は、機動性と火力が劣っていた初期のM13およびM16ハーフトラックバリアントの代替品として1943年に設計されました。M19は、戦争の後半に開発されたM42ダスターと同じ砲塔を使用していました。M19には、指揮官、運転手、砲手、装填手、および2人の弾薬取扱者の6人の乗組員がいました。車両は4つのクリップで40 mm弾薬の352ラウンドを搭載していました。主砲は 360 度旋回し、-5 度から +85 度に上昇する可能性があります。M19の最高速度は35 mph(56 km / h)、航続距離は150マイル(240 km)でした。
ザ M19 entered service in late 1944 and saw action in the European and Pacific theaters. It was especially useful in the Battle of the Bulge, where it helped counter the German Luftwaffe attacks on Allied supply lines. The M19 also supported the amphibious landings in the Philippines and Okinawa, where it engaged both aircraft and kamikaze boats. After the war, the M19 remained in service with the US Army until 1953, when it was replaced by the M42 Duster. Some M19s were also exported to other countries, such as France, Belgium, and South Korea.
