Speaking of Marines, they got the Ontos when the Army didn't want it.

The Ontos, officially the Rifle, Multiple 106 mm, Self-propelled, M50, was an American light armored tracked anti-tank vehicle developed in the 1950s. It mounted six M40 106 mm recoilless rifles as its main armament, which could be fired in rapid succession against single targets to guarantee a kill.

Originally conceived as a fast tank killer, it was employed by US Marines who consistently reported excellent results when used for direct fire support against infantry during the Vietnam War. Its mobility and firepower were proven in numerous battles and operations. Produced in limited numbers and largely expended towards the end of the conflict, the Ontos was removed from service in 1969.

Wow.. thanks for those posts asianobserve. Some of those pics are going into my personal collection... : )
The turret is definitely quite compact, overall a pretty neatly packaged/ compact beauty(less armour though) in comparison the Japanese "Type 90" looks huge & quite imposing.

Holes are not in the main gun, but gun's thermal shroud.
