Picture shown is an M-16, the M-3 did not have the quad 50 mount. --141.157.157.106 00:21, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] T12 Issue

The T12 GMC was the pilot vehicle for the M3 GMC. The only difference between T12s and production M3s is the purpose built gun shield on the M3 replacing the sparse gun shield from the M2A3 carraige that the gun had been on previously that had been fitted to the T12. Dunno anything about a T12 HMC, but this is the T12 GMC.

Well, the T12 designation is unnecessary in the variant list since it got a "proper" designation once adopted. GraemeLeggett 10:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I honestly don't think so. If its a term that people might stumble across its nice to have it listed there so people know what it is. Thatguy96 8:20, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Current service

Should it be mentioned that the M3 is still in service in Israel? 204.152.235.217 (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the IDF had dispensed with the last of their halftracks by the end of the 1980s, even passing some of the remaining units to groups like the South Lebanon Army. Do you have a source for their continued usage? -- Thatguy96 (talk) 22:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
