Originally built as a mobile anti-aircraft weapon, it found its true fame on the ground. With Allied air superiority in 1944, General George S. Patton famously utilized these vehicles in the front lines to shred through enemy infantry and light cover. Firing up to 2,000 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition per minute, Allied soldiers quickly nicknamed this terrifying Maxson M45 Quadmount setup the "Meat Chopper" or "Kraut Mower" for the pure carnage it caused on the battlefield.
