The M40 Gun Motor Carriage was a U.S. self-propelled artillery vehicle developed during World War II. Built on a modified M4A3 Sherman tank chassis, it mounted a powerful 155mm M2 "Long Tom" gun and was powered by a 500-horsepower Continental R975 radial engine. With a crew of eight, the M40 provided highly mobile heavy fire support for advancing forces. It entered service late in the war, seeing limited combat in Europe before becoming a mainstay during the Korean War. The open-topped design allowed rapid firing and reloading, while its tracked mobility ensured it could keep pace with armored formations.
