Quad Maksim AA MG
(SU161)
includes one ZIS-5 truck with Driver, one Quad Maksim AA MG & two Crew figures.
The first true Soviet mount purposely designed to allow machine-guns to be utilised in an anti-aircraft role was designed in the late 1920s by Fedor Tokarev. The design mounted four 7.62mm Maxim machine-guns in a side-by-side configuration and was adopted for service in 1931.

Rising Sun

For speed and increased mobility; these Quad Maxim machine-guns were often mounted in the back of trucks such as the ZIS-5. Capable of putting out a staggering volume of fire this weapon proved just as effective against ground based targets as it did enemy aircraft.

Who Can Shoot
Shooting at aircraft requires a special anti-aircraft mounting to allow the weapon to shoot at high angles and rotate rapidly to track fast-moving aircraft.
Only weapons with the Anti-aircraft, Heavy Anti-aircraft, or Self-defence Anti-aircraft attribute can fire at Aircraft. Anti-aircraft weapons that are still being towed by or carried as Passengers in Transport vehicles cannot shoot at Aircraft.
Anti-aircraft weapons must have a Line of Sight and be within Range to shoot at Aircraft.
Any teams that shoot at Aircraft can’t move At the Double, Dig In, Shoot or Assault in their next turn.
Any weapons (other than Self-defence Anti-aircraft weapons) that shoot at Aircraft cannot conduct Defensive Fire if assaulted later in this turn.
Changing The Face Of Warfare
Invented by Hiram Maxim in 1884, the Maxim gun used recoil energy of the previously fire cartridge to extracted; load and fire the next round. The weapon would therefore keep firing as long as there was a fresh supply of ammunition or the trigger was depressed. This revolutionary design gave the world its first true machine-gun and would change the face of warfare forever.
