However, the M8's initial design lacked anti-aircraft capabilities, a significant vulnerability in combat. To address this, a *.50 caliber Browning M2HB machine gun* was added to most vehicles already deployed. Although a powerful weapon, the ring mount limited its effectiveness compared to a dedicated anti-aircraft system.

In summary, the M8 was well-armed for engaging ground targets but initially vulnerable to air attack, a weakness partially addressed by a somewhat improvised anti-aircraft solution.
