@shopeasex: Can a machine from the 1940s logically think to protect its own crew? Watch how the devastating M16 Quadmount fires 3,000 rounds per minute in total chaos, yet possesses a mechanical logic so precise it instantly cuts the trigger to avoid its own vehicle cab. Full Story Text: "During WWII, the M16 Quadmount could fire 3,000 rounds per minute, yet it was engineered with built-in safety stops that automatically cut the trigger the exact millisecond the barrels pointed at its own vehicle cab." This video is created for educational and historical documentation purposes only. We explore the engineering and events of the past to understand history's impact on the modern world.

The only half tracks used in Korea were these. The quad 50s were used on Chinese ground troops to break up mass attacks.

They used them for convoy security in Vietnam. Got a picture of one with the words “ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?” painted on the tailgate.

The same mechanisms existed for the ball turrets of the b17 so that they could accidentally hit the engines
