During the Pacific War, U.S. forces modified the 37mm M3 anti-tank gun into a devastating giant shotgun. They loaded it with canister rounds that detonated just beyond the muzzle, firing 122 steel pellets in a lethal cone of projectiles with a maximum range of 250 yards (approximately 237 meters). In pivotal battles on Guadalcanal—such as the Battle of the Tenaru and the Battle of Edson's Ridge—U.S. Marines used this weapon to tear through Japan’s dense Banzai Charges, turning their coordinated human wave tactics into a brutal close-quarters slaughter. This devastating tactic was later employed again in the Battle of Saipan and other Pacific campaigns. In Japan’s last desperate military attempts, the 37mm guns tore massive gaps through dense Japanese formations, completely shattering the Imperial Japanese Army’s feared assault tactics for good.
