M551 Sheridan
The M551 Sheridan was an American Light Tank Airborne Assault Vehicle that was rushed into service to meet the demand for armored vehicles in Vietnam. Unique for its time, the 152mm main gun was able to fire anti-tank guided missiles, although these were not used in Vietnam, and was ultimately replaced with the more ubiquitous BGM-71 TOW missile launcher. Instead, the Sheridan was primarily an infantry support vehicle, using its low-velocity cannon to fire HE Shells.

Served as a machine gun pill box in vietnam its ATGM was buggier than an Iphone and never destroyed anything other than a few pill boxes in Iraq. Its gun was 152mm every time if fired the vehicle bucked backwards and all the fucking electronics had to go through a full reboot. Hilariously, when the Sheridan was retired from active service, the NTC picked up a couple and dressed them up as soviet block vehicles (T-72s, T80s and BMPs) to help train US service men in identifying possible enemy tanks.
