This was a smaller tank that was used in Vietnam.  This tank had two machine guns attached to it one .50 Caliber M2 machine gun and a 7.62 M60 machine gun which can't be seen because its not mounted but it would have been on the back.  Being a smaller tank this tank only weighs 7.5 tons and only carries a crew of three.  These tanks were in the Vietnam war and in service between 1962 and 1973.

Ordinarily looking like a normal type-writer, this 90 pound machine actually has interchangeable code wheels, which you can see. The code wheels were changed based on the situation and the times. This is the second version of the machine, the first was designed in the 1930's and was called SIGABA. The device was secretly patented and shared with the Navy a few years later. This machine was used on the Battleship North Carolina and other battle ships to relay code. Barely any of the crew members knew about this machine, it was on a need to know basis some of the higher officers didn't even
know about it. Neither Germany or Japan could break the code throughout WWII and the machine was later retired in 1959.

These were some of the smaller machine guns that were used to fight against Aircraft during World War 2. Each gun took 11 men to man and operate.  The main problem with these guns was that when you aimed and fired at the spot where you think your target was going to be, the target would have moved already.  Which later led to a computerized aiming sight getting developed.

This was an engine that came out of a OS2U KINGFISHER float planes that flew of of the USS North Carolina and other Battleships during WW2. Without the contribution of this 450 horsepower engine from PRATT & WHITNEY, the planes might have not worked as good, if the engine was from a different company.
