It was ready for trials in 1939. This tank had no less than seven Browning 1919 .30-06 Machine guns, and held over 12,200 rounds for the machine guns alone! The fastest this tank could go was 26 mph, and could go about 130 mi at medium speed before it needs more fuel. Directly underneath where the driver sat, was the tank’s transmission. He also had three large folding panels that allowed the driver an amazing surrounding vision. However, the M2 Medium Tank was never brought into action, because it’s shape and size made it hard to drive on sand and in dense forests. Instead it was keeped in the US to train the american soldiers there. It was replaced by the M3 Grant/Lee and M4
