Quadmount
The M45 Quadmount (nicknamed the "meat chopper" for its high rate of fire) was a weapon used in World War II, consisting of four M2 Browning machine guns mounted on a wheeled platform or vehicle. Another version consists of the same wheeled platform but instead of standing up behind the leg pod, the gunner would sit down, and remove the pod.
