Over 53,000 M3 vehicles were produced during WW2. The M3A1 featured a 147 horsepower 6-cylinder gasoline engine that could reach speeds of 45 mph. Configured in many different formats, the M3A1 was primarily used for troop transport and as an armored car. It contained an array of small arms and a .50 caliber Browning M2-HB.
Designed as a large, high-mobility infantry vehicle, the M3 half-track was standardized in 1940 and was built by the Diamond T Motor Company for use during WWII and the Cold War. In order to improve its reliability and to speed up production, the M3 was produced with as many commercial components as possible. It had a longer body than its counterpart, the M2, and could carry a 13-man rifle squad. It had a fully armored body and a bullet-proof windscreen, and the radiator was protected by an adjustable armored shutter. Later variants included machine gun mounts and rear-mounted racks for crew stowage. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
