This guide details the operation and tactical employment of the M6 Gun Motor Carriage, a 1942 Dodge truck mounting a 37mm anti-tank gun. It covers the vehicle's design for ambush tactics, its semi-automatic firing mechanism, crew protection, and performance limitations against heavier tanks. The 'shoot and scoot' doctrine is emphasized for this lightly armored platform, drawing on insights from Ian McCollum, a recognized expert in historical firearms.
This video reviews Robert Mamp's book, "A Gun For All Nations: The 37mm Gun and Ammunition Volume 1 (1870-1913)". The book is praised for its comprehensive coverage of 37mm guns, including Hotchkiss revolving and quickfire cannons, as well as competitors like Nordenfelt and Maxim guns. While rich in information, the self-published nature leads to a lack of photographs and some editing oversights. The reviewer highlights its value for specialized audiences interested in historical artillery and ammunition.
