The M15A gun motor carriage was a WWII era design for an anti-infantry vehicle. Apparently the idea was it could fire in all directions without having to take the time to traverse a turret. I haven't been able to find much else about it, aside from the fact that only one prototype was ever built.
Looking at it, I'm surprised they even wasted their time and money building one of the things. Aside from the fact that it would have been a sitting duck for any enemy tank it encountered, I wonder how much ammunition it could have carried? Whatever the amount, the large number of guns it mounted would have buzzed through it in short order.

I wonder how many crew it would need to take care of all that different cal. of ammo.
Not to mention the lack of space with all those breeches intruding into the compartment.
Gah... I never thought of the crew. By my count there are least 12 guns on the thing. So a commander, a driver or two, and a mess of gunners would also have to be stuffed into it.
I wonder how big it was?
This is clearly a photoshopped picture of a grant tank:

this is so stupidly obvious. it is a huge fake. M3 Lee tank, presumably in Africa, had guns photo-shopped all over it. how can you not see this. just look at where the guns meet the hull and you'll realize that it doesn't fit right. also this tank would be SOOO impractical: it would need like a million crewmen and would not be able to move fast. just think for 2 seconds and you can see it it a huge fake.
