Such "Zippo" tanks were used by the US Marine Corps and Army in the Pacific and later in Korea and Vietnam. The 31.7-tonne tracked vehicle is crewed by five and is powered by a **Ford GAA V8** producing 500 hp for 15.8 hp/t and 42 km/h. The gunner turret mounts the **105 mm M4** howitzer (HE and M67 shot), a coaxial **.30 cal M1919**, and the **H5 Flamethrower** with napalm; the commander and bow gunner have **12.7mm M2** and **.30 cal M1919** respectively. The main gun has a 10-second reload and 1x/6x periscope sight with no stabilizer on the howitzer. The flamethrower provided devastating short-range effect against fortifications and infantry.
