'The Ontos, possibly the most downright eccentric armored vehicle ever concocted for the U.S. Military. It was a tiny tank, armed with six M40 recoilless rifles, which were mounted externally on its tiny turret. The Ontos fought in countless skirmishes, but where it became part of Marine legend was in the battle for Hue during the Tet Offensive. There it was involved in some of the fiercest urban fighting in the Corps history. According to one source, the only reason the Fifth Marine Regiment survived Hue was because of the Ontos and the 106mm recoilless rifle.'

These mowed the field with deadly results. I worked for a man who was
station in one and he never spoke about it accept once when he was drunk. Said
the Gooks were lemming across a field and stepping over piles of dead to
continue the futile attack. Most armed with bolt action rifles.
I think he said they were Chinese nationals.
