The ASG-15 tail gun turret was the last line of defense for B-52 bombers, protecting them from enemy aircraft during strategic bombing missions throughout the Cold War. The B-52 Stratofortress, first introduced in the 1950s, was the backbone of the U.S. Air Force’s long-range nuclear deterrence strategy, flying missions across the globe, including Vietnam, the Cold War, and Operation Desert Storm.
Mounted in the tail of the B-52G, this turret was remotely controlled by a gunner positioned in the forward fuselage, utilizing a radar targeting system to track and engage enemy fighters. The quad .50 caliber M3 machine guns provided defensive firepower capable of repelling high-speed jet threats—making this an invaluable component of U.S. bomber defense.
This ASG-15 Quad .50 Cal Tail Gun Turret is a rare and historically significant artifact, representing a pivotal era in aerial warfare and U.S. strategic defense. Whether displayed in a military museum, aviation collection, or historical exhibit, this turret is an unmatched conversation piece, offering a tangible connection to Cold War airpower.
If purchased with the dummy M3 machine guns, we will custom fabricate mounting brackets for a museum-quality display.
