I think we all could, I'm just worried that it might end up being the only thing taken up once people get good at using the 37mm for AA duty.

The 37mm cannon that was tested on the Jeep wasn't suited for AA work as it was an anti-tank gun.

Ack-Ack  would you mind posting the picture of the 37mm jeep in this thread?







Now the bad news, these were all prototypes.  The Jeep's thin metal was found to be unnacceptable so the heavier Dodge .5 and GMC .75  ton 4x4 vehicle were tested with some success.  Below is a picture.

That's an awfully awkward AA mount.
