Type 98 20mm AA gun (Japanese)

Description

The Type 98 20mm AA “machine cannon” was a light AA weapon used by the Japanese during WWII. Introduced in 1938, it was the most common light AA gun in service with the Japanese Army. It was an effective weapon and generally considered to be well made and maneuverable. It could be deployed in around 3 minutes, but was also usable (inaccurately) from the carriage. The high rate of fire combined with an AP round also saw it used as an emergency anti-tank weapon at times.
