Its nickname comes from British soldiers, who noticed the resemblance of the machine gun mount to a church pulpit. The M7 Priest took part in many campaigns, such as the Normandy landings, the Battle of Monte Cassino, and the Pacific battles—wherever the Allies needed effective self-propelled artillery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePeriod of use:\u003c\/b\u003e World War II (1942–1945), also partially used after 1945 in several European armies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Plastic – high-grade synthetic material faithfully reproducing the armor and weapon details.
