Picture shown is an M-16, the M-3 did not have the quad 50 mount. -- 141.157.157.106 00:21, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The T12 GMC was the pilot vehicle for the M3 GMC. The only difference between T12s and production M3s is the purpose built gun shield on the M3 replacing the sparse gun shield from the M2A3 carraige that the gun had been on previously that had been fitted to the T12. Dunno anything about a T12 HMC, but this is the T12 GMC.
Well, the T12 designation is unnecessary in the variant list since it got a "proper" designation once adopted. GraemeLeggett 10:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned that the M3 is still in service in Israel? 204.152.235.217 ( talk) 21:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
A WW2 US Army Armored Infantry rifle squad had 12 men. This total *includes* the driver, who was expected to act as another rifleman when dismounted and absolutely was a squad member. The M3 was also used to carry light machinegun and mortar squads also, but none of those squads had more than 12 men. So the M3 did indeed have 13 seats, but even at full strength no squad needed more than 12 seats. Regards, DMorpheus2 ( talk) 14:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Folks, the lead photo in this article is definitely an M2, not an M3. I will edit. DMorpheus2 ( talk) 18:25, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Initial comments/observations: G'day, I can see that a lot of hard work has been put into this article, which is fantastic to see. There is a lot of great information and overall the article is detailed and well referenced; however, I think there are a few things to work through at this stage. I have taken an initial run through the article, and have some initial comments/observations, which I will place below here. If these can be worked on/addressed, I will come back and take another look at the article. Thanks for your efforts so far. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) 03:19, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Criteria
1. Well written:
2. Verifiable with no original research:
3. Broad in its coverage:
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
@ AustralianRupert: Hello, I have contributed to this page so I can't review this GAN. However, this page has a big problem with the third criterium Broad in its coverage. There is nothing about post-war service. As said in the infobox, the M3 saw combat after the war in many conflicts (Lebanon, France in Algeria, Zaire, Israel, Lebanon) and nothing is explained in the text. I believe this article needs to be expanded to non-US users. @ WelpThatWorked: if you need help to find some references, I can help you. Write first the new section titles and general ideas and then I will add more details. But I think I do not have enough references.-- Le Petit Chat ( talk) 20:04, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
Can someone please rename this article and the M5 half-track to M3 half-track car and M5 half-track car
