Howdy wAbout! Yeah, I gotta agree with you. I did a little research. The US M45 Quadmount weighs approximately 2400 lbs. Maybe a little more depending on which trailer it’s mounted on. The US M1 37mm AA gun weighs approximately 6130 lbs. and is considered a medium AA gun in Bolt Action. The US M1A1 90mm gun weighs approximately 19000 lbs. and is considered a heavy AA gun in Bolt Action. So using a little common sense, I’d say that the errata is wrong, that a gun system that weighs less than half of a medium AA gun is a light AA gun, and that pretty much any US “tow” vehicle, except for a Jeep, should be able to pull it….
