Guys
Is it possible or likely that US forces would mount a captured Quad 20mm Flakvierling on the back of a Deuce? Or would the deuce not be able to take it?

It is possible but not likely as the US forces were pretty well supplied with their own stuff.

I agree with Cliff, I, personally, would not go through the trouble of mounting a new flak gun on a truck, when there were already anti-aircraft trucks around, besides, thats one less truck to carry men and/or supplies.
