Ua paʻa ka kaʻa kauoha me kahi pū mīkini anti-aircraft 12,7 mm. No ke kamaʻilio ʻana i waho, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā lekiō ma nā mīkini ʻelua.

Wahi a ka hana e kū nei ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua kono ʻia kekahi mau ʻoihana e hoʻomohala i kēlā mīkini, ʻehā mau hui i komo i ka tender.
Mai nā manaʻo, ua koho ʻia ka prototype Ford T22, i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka hana ma lalo o ka inoa M8 light armored kaʻa. Ma ka liʻiliʻi, ua lilo ka M8 i kaʻa kaʻa kaua maʻamau o ʻAmelika, i ka manawa i pau ai ka hana ʻana i ʻApelila 1945, 11667 o kēia mau kaʻa i kūkulu ʻia. Wahi a ka poʻe akamai o ʻAmelika, he kaʻa kaua maikaʻi loa ia me ka hiki ke kū i ka ʻāina. ʻO ka nui o kēia mau mīkini i ka hoʻokumu kaua ʻana o nā pūʻali koa o kekahi mau ʻāina a hiki i ka waena o 1970s.
He kaʻa kaʻa huila haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa (hoʻokahi axle ma mua a ʻelua ma hope) a ua uhi ʻia nā huila me nā pale e hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka poʻe holo moku ʻehā i loko o kahi keʻena ākea, a ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi pūkuniahi 37-mm a me 7,62-mm Browning machine gun coaxial me ia i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kahi puʻupuʻu ākea. Eia kekahi, ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi turret no kahi pū mīkini anti-aircraft 12,7 mm ma hope o ka turret.
ʻO ka pili pili loa o ka M8, ʻo ia ke kaʻa kāhiko M20 me ka hoʻoneʻe ʻia o ka turret a me ka ʻāpana pūʻali ma kahi o ke kaua. Hiki ke kau ʻia ka pū mīkini ma luna o ka pā ma luna o ka ʻāpana hāmama o ka hull. ʻAʻole i emi iki ka M20 ma mua o ka M8, no ka mea, he mīkini maʻalahi ia i hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoponopono i nā hana like ʻole - mai ka nānā ʻana i ka lawe ʻana i nā waiwai. Ua hoʻomaka ka M8 a me M20 e komo i nā pūʻali koa i Malaki 1943, a i Nowemapa o ia makahiki, ʻoi aku ma mua o 1000 mau kaʻa i hana ʻia. Hoʻomaka koke lākou e hāʻawi ʻia i UK a me nā ʻāina o ka Commonwealth Pelekane.
Ua hāʻawi ka poʻe Pelekania i ka M8 i ka inoa Greyhound, akā kānalua lākou no kāna hana kaua. No laila, ua manaʻo lākou he ʻoi aku ka nāwaliwali o kēia kaʻa, ʻoi aku ka pale o kaʻu. No ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēia hemahema o ka pūʻali, ua kau ʻia nā ʻeke one ma lalo o ke kaʻa. I ka manawa like, ua loaʻa i ka M8 nā mea maikaʻi - hiki i ka pūkuniahi 37-mm ke paʻi i nā kaʻa kaua kaua a ka ʻenemi, a aia ʻelua mau pū mīkini e hakakā i ka pūʻali koa. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui o ka M8 ʻo ia ka hoʻolako ʻia ʻana o kēia mau kaʻa kaua i ka nui.
