  ADI Modernized 40/60
       Notes:  This is a modernization of the standard Bofors L/60 antiaircraft gun.  It is designed for low cost and to be an easy
  upgrade.  The biggest upgrades are not in the guns themselves, but in the hydraulic and electrical systems controlling the firing,
  traverse, and elevation.  The result is a weapon that can elevate, traverse, and follow targets much faster than a standard L/60
  AAG.  It also replaces worn components with newer ones able to better withstand use and abuse.  As of 2000, only the Australian
  Navy is using this version of the L/60, but it is also for sale on the open market.

  30mm L21A2 Rarden
       Notes:  The Rarden (Royal Armament, Research and Development establishment and Enfield) is fitted to the British FV-510
  Warrior IFV, FV-107 Scimitar reconnaissance vehicle, Sabre reconnaissance vehicle, and FV-721 Fox armored car.  It was
  designed in the early 1960s to defeat known and projected armored personnel carriers of the time.  Requirements at the time
  included penetration, accuracy, low weight, and ease of operation.  This partially why the ROF was kept so low (90 rounds per
  minute); another reason was to prevent wasteful ammunition usage. The low rate of fire is primarily because while the Rarden is a
  dual-feed weapon, it is hand-fed by 3-round clips into either side of the weapon; the 90-round per minute rate of fire is the
  maximum practical rate of fire by a well-trained crew.  The lack of a belt feed also allows the dimensions of the gun to be kept
  smaller, and allows it to be used in turrets and on vehicles with limited space.  The low rate of fire also contributes to a low rate of
  wear and tear, and reduces maintenance. The Rarden has the advantage of having no firing gasses that escape into the vehicle
  from a vehicular mount. Operation is by long recoil, but the barrel is the primary part that recoils instead of the gun mechanism
  itself.  The recoil mechanism means that the Rarden does not need to be externally-powered and can remain in operation even if
  the vehicle’s power is put out. Spent casings and dud rounds are ejected forwards out of the turret.

  FAM-2M
       Notes:  This is a twin autocannon system used by the Chileans to protect its airfields.  There are no known exports to date. 
  Very early versions used HS-820 cannons cannibalized from Vampire T.11 aircraft, but these guns are now out of service and
  have been replaced by versions using twin KAD autocannons.  One of the best features of the system is the degree of protection it
  gives the gunner; he is almost totally enclosed in thick steel plating.  On the right side of the mounting is a small gasoline-powered
  generator sufficient to supply power to the weapon’s elevation and traverse mechanisms.  The generator also has a battery
  backup.  The FAM-2M uses an optical sight that is about as advanced as one can get without going to computerized sights.  In
  addition, up to four of these guns can be hooked to one radar for centralized remote control.

  23mm Type 80
       Notes:  This appears to be a reverse-engineered version of the Russian ZU-23-2.  The differences between it and the Russian
  weapon are few and mostly to suit local manufacturing methods and materials.  The sight is 3.5x instead of the 2.5x of the ZU-23-
  2.

  25mm Type 85
       Notes:  This is basically a ZU-23-2 with the 23mm autocannons replaced with 25mm autocannons of local manufacture.  The
  Type 85 is externally very similar to the Type 80 23mm AAA gun and can be easily mistaken for it at first glance.  The Chinese are
  not as yet using this new weapon; it appears to have been built expressly for export.

  37mm Type 55/65/74/74SD/P793
       Notes:  The genesis of these designs is the Russian M-1939 37mm antiaircraft gun.  The Type 55 is, in fact, little more than a
  Chinese copy of the single-barreled M-1939, while the Type 65 is a copy of the twin 37mm version of the M-1939.  Type 74 has
  the ability to be hooked into an existing antiaircraft system and placed under its radar control, has a slightly higher rate of fire (no
  effect in game terms), and a telescopic sight.  The Type 74SD replaces hydraulic manual controls with electrical servos.  The P793
  can be equipped with standard or long barrels; the rate of fire is further increased; the unit has its own 5.22 kW generator; the
  telescopic sight’s magnification is increased to 5x; and an image intensifier is supplied.

  57mm Type 59
       Notes:  This weapon is a close copy of the Russian S-60 and differs from that weapon in only minor respects.  Most of these
  differences are concessions to local manufacturing methods.  However, the ammunition used by the Type 59 normally uses steel
  
  Chinese Autocannons

  cases instead of the copper cases used by the Russians.  The Type 59 is normally radar-directed by rotating bar-type radar known
  as the GW-03.

  Norinco Giant Bow AAA System
       Notes: While this may seem like a simple ZU-23-2 with power movement and computer control, you need to zoom out and see
  the big picture.  The ace up the sleeve of the Giant Bow is that truck (could be one of several models) parked up to 50 meters
  away is the Battery Optoelectronic Commander’s Vehicle.  Up to six Giant Bows may be wired in to the BOCV, and the BOCV can
  be used to detect and to an extent, help the gunners aim the guns and feed computer coordinates of aircraft to the Giant Bow’s
  computer.  In of itself, the Giant Bow has a fire control computer an image intensifier, and an optronic rangefinder; the BOCV adds
  a FLIR, 2nd generation image intensifier, advanced computers that can track, aim, and predict target tracks.  A laser rangefinder
  and a TV camera with 6x magnification complete the sensors.  The BOCV has a crew of four.  The images from the BOCV’s FLIR
  and image intensifier can be fed to the Giant Bow’s viewfinder, and fire coordinates fed to the gun’s computer.
       Of course, while the BOCV is a nice perk of the system, the Giant Bow does not have any need for the BOCV to be an
  effective weapon.  The BOCV simply allows for more accurate, coordinated fire.  The Giant Bow is basically a ZU-23-2, with a
  widened crew platform to allow for a gunner and observer/computer operator, and techy enhancements are added that gives it
  accuracy and abilities that a standard ZU-23-2 doesn’t have.  It otherwise is a two-wheeled trailer with a folding undercarriage and
  a heavy-duty articulated tow bar.

  M-53
       Notes:  Like many such things, the Czechs developed their own light antiaircraft gun system during their Warsaw Pact days.  In
  this case, the twin 30mm autocannon M-53 is used to replace the ZU-23-2 in Czech and Slovak service.  It is heavier compared to
  the ZU-23-2, and has a lower rate of fire, but the range and punch are greater.  There is no provision for radar control, but a
  telescopic periscope is provided.

  20mm Giat 53T1
       Notes:  This elderly antiaircraft gun is still in use by French Foreign Legion units, usually in a ground support role, and by the
  forces of Chad.  It is preferred by the Legion due to its light weight and low recoil forces, which made it suitable for employment
  from relatively light vehicles.  It uses the same M 693 autocannon used by the Cerbere 76T2, Tarasque 53T2, and the 53T4. 
  Sighting equipment includes a reticule sight for antiaircraft use and a 5.2x telescopic sight for use against ground targets.

       Notes:  This is an older French antiaircraft gun, using the same autocannon (M 693(F2)) that the Cerbere 76T2 twin 20mm gun
  uses.  It is a low-weight weapon that can be easily mounted on light trucks or towed behind smaller vehicles. The traverse and
  elevation mechanisms are driven by a hydraulic motor.  As with the 53T1, the sights are a basic reticule sight for antiaircraft use
  and 5.2x telescopic sight for use against ground targets.

       Notes:  This is a double autocannon version of the Giat 53T2 antiaircraft gun above.  It is otherwise the same as the 53T2,
  except for a more beefy, stable mounting and hydraulic recocking of the guns when loading them.  In addition, the guns have
  automatic electric cutout to stop a gun from firing if it cooks off, and the gun can be set to not fired if pointed within certain arcs (to
  prevent firing at friendly targets or at useless fields of fire such as targets the ammunition cannot penetrate).  As with most French
  antiaircraft autocannons, the gun includes a 1x reticule gunsight for antiaircraft use and a 5.2x telescopic sight for ground targets.

  autocannons like those mounted on the 53T2 and 53T4.  The 76T2 is designed to work in concert with the Crotale SAM missile
  system, and can use the same radar as the Crotale.  It is also designed to be used with a helmet-pointing system (where the
  gunner directs the guns by looking at a target through a visor in a specially-equipped helmet).  This helmet system, known as the
  DALDO, had not been bought by any country as of 2000, but is for sale.

  25mm Giat 53T4
       Notes:  This is a Giat 53T4 antiaircraft gun (detailed in the Heavy Weapons Handbook) with the twin 20mm autocannons
  replaced with a single 25mm Giat M811 autocannon.  The mount is substantially the same with small changes to handle the new
  autocannon, and the ammunition box is somewhat larger, but also mostly the same.

  20mm MK-20 Rh-202
       Notes:  The MK20 Rh-202 has a high rate of fire, yet low recoil forces, and can thus be mounted in a variety of vehicles and
  mounts.  It is a dual-feed weapon that feeds from the top, and the type of round fired may be selected by a simple switch.  The
  Rh-202 can keep firing even in extremes of temperature, water, and contamination.

  20mm Rheinmetall AA Twin Gun System
       Notes:  This is a light AAA gun system using two Rh-202 autocannons.  The Rh-202 cannon is a fairly common one in
  European service.  The Rheinmetall AA System is remarkable in that it can be almost completely field stripped without the use of
  any tools.  Each gun is belt fed from an ammunition box containing two belts with 140 rounds per belt.  The gunsight has a
  magnification of x5, or 1x for a wider field of view (normally used against low-flying aircraft).  A computer is incorporated in the
  sight for calculating the proper lead for moving targets.

  25mm Mauser MK-25
       Notes:  This German autocannon was first developed as a replacement for the autocannon on the Marder, then an Rh-202. 
  Some ASCOD IFVs are also fitted with this weapon.  75% of the parts on this weapon are interchangeable with those on the MK-
  30.  The MK-25 is a dual feed weapon. 
       Twilight 2000 Notes: Replacements with this autocannon began with the Marder in 1994, with some 250 vehicles modified
  before the start of the Twilight War.

       Notes:  This autocannon is used on the Greek Artemis LAAG, the Breda Sentinel ADA, and is used by itself on a ground and
  vehicle mounts by the Italian Guardia di Finanza and French Navy (with varying barrel lengths in each case).  It has a high rate of
  fire and has a dual feed mechanism that may feed from the sides or top.  The MK-30 is gas-operated and is known for its
  reliability.  The MK-30 is easy to maintain and can be assembled and disassembled without tools.

  30mm Mauser/KUKA Arrow
       Notes:  This antiaircraft gun is similar in appearance to the Greek Artemis gun, but has a computerized fire control system that
  allows shots at +2.  This fire control computer may also be slaved to an external radar unit to allow shots at +3.  The gun
  mechanisms are powered by a 1.5kW generator.  Gun leveling and lowering onto jacks is done mechanically, and setup time is fast
  for a gun of its size.  Besides Germany, this gun is used by Thailand.  The autocannons used are MK-30s.

  20mm TCM-20
  Notes: This light AAA gun is basically an old US M-55 trailer-mounted AA machinegun system with the four M-2HB replaced by
  two HS-404 20mm autocannons that have been modified to fire more powerful HS-804 ammunition. The resulting gun can be used
  from a trailer, fixed position, or most light armored vehicles. Each autocannon is fed from 60-round drum magazine, but the guns
  must be cocked manually when reloaded.

  23mm TCM Mk 3
  Notes: Using captured 23mm autocannons, the Israelis also produced a version of the TCM-20 with ZU-23 autocannons. This
  system was used for a short time by the Israelis, but they later took them out of service, replacing them with more TCM-20s.
  Rumors point to Chile and South Africa as possible recipients of some of the cast-off TCM Mk 3s, but this is not confirmed.
  Twilight 2000 Notes: The Israelis kept some 75 TCM Mk 3s, using them for home defense. South Africa and Chile also received
  some.
  Merc 2000 Notes: As Twilight 2000 Notes, but the Israelis did not keep any.

  40mm OTOBreda 40mm Antiaircraft Gun
       Notes:  This is basically a Bofors L/70 antiaircraft gun carriage license-produced by OTOBreda in Italy and given a few
  improvements.  The improvements include increasing the ROF from 240 rounds per minute to 300 (this has no practical game
  effect); the ability to fire newer forms of ammunition such as PFHE and 3P rounds; a larger magazine; and the ability to use
  batteries when a generator is not available.  The 40mm AAG can also be attached to a remote control mechanism to place large
  numbers of guns under the control of a single gunner.

  40mm OTOBreda Twin 40L70
       Notes:  This is a field mounting of a popular Italian naval antiaircraft mounting using twin Bofors L/70 autocannons.  The guns
  are linked together so that they recoil and fire at the same time; this increases the recoiling mass and thus lowers the recoil forces
  on the mount.  The system can be linked to a Flycatcher air defense radar to form a system known as the Guardian.  It can be
  further integrated into existing surface-to-air missile defenses.  Each gun can be fed from 4-round clips through hatches in the
  sides of the cupola; the ammunition is held in magazines under the gun.  The gun holds a total of 111 clips of ammunition.  The
  entire cupola has an armor value of 2.

  40mm OTOBreda Twin Fast Forty
       Notes:  This is a modernized version of the Twin 40L70 above.  The biggest combat modifications are improvements that allow
  the ROF of each gun to be quickened to nearly 500 rounds per minute each.  Other improvements include computer-aided aiming,
  reduction in recoil length, larger side hatches, and a widespread use of titanium to increase strength of the gun components. 
       Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon system does not exist.
       Merc 2000 Notes: The Twin Fast Forty development is complete, awaiting orders that have not yet been placed.

  76mm Otomatic
       Notes:  This is an Italian autocannon designed for shipboard antiaircraft use, but made with ammunition to give it some
  antiarmor capability. The antiarmor ammunition development was primarily motivated by the design of the OTOmatic self-propelled
  antiaircraft gun and land-based antiaircraft guns which could be pressed into service against light armor.  For the most part, these
  guns never materialized, but the ammunition was kept as being possibly useful in some circumstances.  Two versions exist: the
  standard Compact version, which has a cyclic rate of fire of 85 RPM and is smaller in size, and the Super Rapid version, which is
  larger and has a cyclic rate of 120 RPM.  (For game purposes, the ROF is the same for both versions.)

  20mm FK 20-2
  Notes: This Norwegian autocannon is a German Rh-202 fitted out for the ground support/air defense role. In this role, the
  autocannon is fitted with a sight that allows shots at +1, a flexible tripod mount that can be used from prone or seated positions,
  and is fed by two magazines. It is normally towed by a truck, but may be broken into 8 loads for carry over short distances. The
  mount includes a frontal gun shield that protects the gunner (AV 2). Besides Norway, the FK 20-2 was used by Germany.

  23mm ZUR-23-2S Jod
  Notes: This is a Polish modification of the ZU-23-2 antiaircraft gun. In this model, the base ZU-23-2 is fitted with tubes and sights
  for a twin SA-7 Grail mount. The new sight is electrically powered from a battery, and allows shots with either the guns or the
  missiles at +1. The gun includes seats for two gunners, one for the autocannons and one for the missiles.

  23mm ZU-23
       Notes:  This cannon is found on a variety of vehicular and ground mounts, including the ZSU-23-4, BMP-23, and ZU-23-2 and
  ZU-23-4, as well as some Russian-invented aircraft.  It was invented just after the Second World War, and very few changes have
  been made to the design or ammunition since then.

  ZU-23-2
       Notes:  This is a towed mounting of two ZU-23 autocannons.  It was designed initially to replace the ZPU-2 double KPV
  machinegun mounting, but ended up merely supplementing that weapon at best.  In the Russian military and that of most former
  Warsaw Pact countries, the ZU-23-2 ended up being mostly replaced in turn by the SA-9 Gaskin surface to air missile.  The ZU-
  23-2 is, however, very common in the world, particularly in former Russian and Chinese client states and in Israel and South Africa
  (where captured examples were put to use).  In many of those countries, the towed systems have had their wheels removed and
  they are mounted on the backs of trucks or light armored vehicles.

  30mm 2A42
       Notes:  This Russian autocannon is mounted on several Russian and former Warsaw Pact vehicles, including the BMP-2 and
  BMP-3.  It is a long-barreled, gas operated, dual-feed weapon that may be fired at a ROF of 3 or 5.  Some newer vehicles use the
  2A72 30mm autocannon; this differs primarily in reliability issues and may, for game purposes, be considered identical to the 2A42.

  37mm M-1939
       Notes:  This is a very old weapon developed before World War 2 and never upgraded in any significant manner over the years. 
  Despite this fact, and that it is of very limited usefulness against modern aircraft, it is widely used throughout the world.  The basic
  gun includes an AV2 gun shield, but it is removed by most countries since it severely limits the depression of the gun, and the M-
  1939’s best use today is as an antipersonnel and anti-light-vehicle weapon.  (It also reduces the weight of the gun by about 100
  kilograms.)  There are one and two-gun mounts of this weapon.  The M-1939 is known to be in service with at least 43 countries
  today, but Russia is not one of them.

  57mm AZP S-60
       Notes:  A magazine fed autocannon, this is a towed version of the gun found on the ZSU-57-2.  The gun is also found on the
  fictional PT-57 light combat vehicle (see Best Light combat Vehicles That Never Were). The weapon is fed from a 4-round
  magazine when in a ground mount, and can be kept continually firing by a diligent crew feeding clips into it.   On the ZSU-57-2,
  the S-60 feeds from a 50-round belt (per gun). (The fictional PT-57, however, feeds from a 24-round dual-feed belt.) The S-60 is
  designed to be hooked into fire control radars used by various SAM missile systems, to be used in conjunction with the missiles for
  an integrated air defense network.  The S-60 was originally designed just after World War 2, and was meant to replace the 37mm
  M-1939 and other 37mm antiaircraft guns; however, with the advent of SAMs, plans for production of antiaircraft guns were scaled
  back, and the S-60 ended up supplementing the M-1939 rather than supplanting it.

  20mm Vektor GA1
  Notes: This is the 20mm autocannon most commonly found on South African vehicles, boats, and aircraft, such as the Casspir,
  RG-32 Scout/Weapons Carrier, and Rooivalk helicopter. It may be mechanically or electrically fired, and ground and pintle mounted
  versions include the Armson Occluded Eye Gunsight, a 3.5x sight designed for the extreme vibration of heavy weapons such as
  heavy machineguns, grenade launchers, and autocannons. The GA1 may be mounted on an NHT for ground use, or in equivalent
  mounts for pintle use.

  Notes: The GAMA (Gun Automatic Multiple Ammunition) is a variant of the GA1 that employs a series of interchangeable barrels
  and feed mechanisms to fire a large amount of ammunition types. The weapon is issued as a kit containing the barrels and
  receiver groups. It was first developed to allow the user to train with cheaper smaller caliber ammunition, but was then further
  developed to give the user greater utility with the weapon.

  Notes: This South African autocannon is based on the French M-693. It is a smaller autocannon, useable on NHT or pintle mounts
  as well as being the main armament on the Ratel 20 APC. It is electrically fired by a battery, generator, or vehicle power. It can be
  installed upright, upside down, or on its side without affecting its performance. It is a dual feed weapon, in which two belts of
  ammunition may be loaded into the weapon, and the belt fired being selected by a flip of a switch.

  35mm eGLaS 35
  Notes: This is towed antiaircraft gun system based around the GA-35 autocannon. It is a surprisingly lightweight system for its size,
  and computer studies suggest that three of these guns are more effective than two double-barreled 35mm Oerlikon GDF systems
  (now standard in South Africa). The fire control system includes a periscopic sight with a magnification of 5.2x, a laser rangefinder
  with a ballistic computer, and a Doppler muzzle-velocity measuring system. The gun is fed by two 55-round belts contained in
  magazines on either side of the receiver. Unfortunately, with the end of arms sanctions to South Africa, the South Africans were
  able to obtain cheaper antiaircraft weapons from foreign sources and development of the eGLaS 35 stopped; the system is for sale,
  however.
  Twilight 2000 Notes: About 50 of these weapons were deployed during the Twilight War.
  Merc 2000 Notes: This weapon is a pretty good seller.

  40mm Bofors L/60 AAG
  Notes: The design of this weapon dates back to 1928; prototypes appeared by 1931, and it was type-standardized in 1936. Within
  a few years, over 20 countries adopted it, and most of them still use it to this day. The gun is well-liked due to its simplicity and
  reliability, as well as flexibility.
  In the early 1990s, Bofors developed an upgrade kit for the L/60. This includes an increase in ROF from 120 rpm to 200 rpm, a
  new 20-round magazine above the guns, and the fitting of a laser rangefinder with ballistic computer.

  40mm Bofors L/70 Antiaircraft Guns
  Notes: There are 5 types of Bofors L/70-based antiaircraft guns of Swedish manufacture. The basic model is the Bofors L/70 Type
  A antiaircraft gun; this is a basic mounting using an external power source. The Type B adds a 2 kW APU for independent use.
  The L/70 BOFI (Bofors Optronic Fire-control Instrument) fair weather system adds to this laser rangefinder, ballistic computer, and
  image intensifier. The L/70 BOFI all-weather system adds a J-band pulse Doppler radar. The fifth model is the L/70 modernization
  package, also known as the REMO (REnovation and MOdernization); this is a Type B gun with the APU upgraded to 5 kW,
  batteries for use if the APU goes down, a sight system similar to that of the CV-9040 IFV, and a kit that improves the rate of fire by
  40 rounds per minute. (This has no practical effect in game terms.)

  Swiss Autocannons
  file:///E|/My%20Webs/autocannons/swiss_autocannons.html[2/26/2015 4:00:54 AM]
  20mm Oerlikon KAA
       Notes:  The KAA is found on a variety of vehicular and ground mounts, including the GAI-D01, GAI-C01, and GAI C04
  antiaircraft guns.  It is also known as the Hispano-Suiza Type 204 GK.  It is gas-operated.  Based on the World War 2 Hispano-
  Suiza Type S autocannon (primarily an AAA gun), the KAA was designed in the 1950s, but did not really take off until after the
  Falklands war after the Royal Navy found their GAM-B01 autocannons were inadequate as close-in AAA guns.  Before this, some
  naval vessels and light AFVs used the KAA, though it is primarily designed for use as a AAA gun.  The KAA is electrically-fired
  and requires a power source, though the Spanish Meroka variant uses a percussion-primed recoil system requiring no power
  source.  The KAA is light and handy.
       The KAB is a gas-operated version suitable for antiaircraft and ground target applications.  The gun may be fed from one of
  several magazines or drums.  It is fitted with a very efficient muzzle brake, with a longer barrel.  The KAB may be field-stripped
  without tools. 
       The GAI-B01 variant is one of the smallest, lightest, and simplest mounted antiaircraft cannons in existence.  This is in no small
  order related to its being built around the KAB autocannon.  It is normally towed on a light trailer by a vehicle, but can be mounted
  in its entirety on a heavier vehicle, or even manpacked in up to 10 loads plus ammunition.  The elevation is done with a
  handwheel, and traverse with pumping pedals.  The mount includes a 1x sight for antiaircraft use, and a 3.7x sight for ground
  targets.

  20mm Oerlikon GAI-C01/GAI-C04
       Notes:  These weapons are both based around Oerlikon KAD autocannons (also known as HS-820 autocannons).  The GAI-
  C01 uses one belt of ammunition that feeds from the right side, while the GAI-C04 uses a slightly different version that uses a dual
  feed mechanism.  They can be used against aircraft and ground targets.  The elevation and traverse are manual with a handcrank
  and pumping pedals.  The sights are x1 for antiaircraft use and 2.5x for ground targets.  Each ammunition box contains 75 rounds
  of belted ammunition. The KAD suffers from a high rate of fire and in some applications struggles against the limitations of small
  magazines and belts; it was primarily designed as an aircraft cannon and not a ground-mounted cannon.

  20mm GAI-C03
       Notes:  This is basically a GAI-C01 that uses a variant of the KAD known as the KAD-A01.  The biggest difference between the
  standard KAD and the KAD-A01, apart from the barrel length, is that the KAD-A01 is fed from drum magazines similar to those of
  KAB.  The GAI-C03 uses the same carriage, mount, and sight of the GAI-C01.

  20mm GAI-D01
       Notes:  This weapon was designed to fill the gap between simple single-barreled 20mm antiaircraft guns and heavy,
  sophisticated weapons such as the 35mm GDF series.  It has twin barrels that are longer than the standard KAA or KAB barrels. It
  is also meant to be economical enough to be used routinely against ground targets, especially personnel in the open.  The GAI-
  D01 is a fairly simple weapon, but has powerful 6x telescopic sights and a small 1.5 kW generator under the gunner’s seat for the
  gun training and rotation mechanism.

  25mm Oerlikon KBA
       Notes:  The design of the KBA dates back to the 1960s and the competition for what would become the autocannon on the US
  MICV (later the M-2 Bradley). The KBA was actually designed by famed small arms maven Eugene Stoner, but the design was
  bought out by Oerlikon after the MICV autocannon competition was won by the M-242 Bushmaster. The KBA is used in a large
  amount of vehicles, including the AIFV, MOWAG Piranha, Diana ADA, and Oerlikon GBI-A01, as well as the GBD-AOA and GBD-
  COA turrets.  It is a gas-operated, dual-feed weapon; the KBA-A fires on automatic only; the KBA-B is selective fire, with
  semiautomatic, programmable rapid semiautomatic with a cyclic rate of 200 RPM, and fully automatic.  The standard automatic
  cyclic rate of fire is 570 RPM, but the KBA-C01 version uses a recoiling barrel and has a slightly higher rate of fire at 600 RPM
  (this has no effect in game terms). The operation of the autocannon is primarily electrical, though as backups hand cranks and a
  trigger pedal are available (the electrical firing mechanism actually “pulls the trigger” instead of electrically firing the ammunition).

  25mm Oerlikon GBI-A01
       Notes:  This is a relatively simple single-barreled 25mm antiaircraft mount using a KBA autocannon.  The weapon requires
  virtually no set-up time; in a pinch, the GBI-A01 may be fired only partially set up, while still hooked to its towing vehicle (though
  this limits traverse to 45 degrees in either direction).  Elevation and traverse are manual, using handwheels.  The gunsight is
  equivalent to a 4x set of binoculars.  The Cannon is fed from two ammunition boxes, one on each side of the gun.

  35mm Oerlikon GDF-001/002/003/005
       Notes:  This twin 35mm autocannon began development in the late 1950s.  The first model was known as the GDF-001, and
  
  Swiss Autocannons
  file:///E|/My%20Webs/autocannons/swiss_autocannons.html[2/26/2015 4:00:54 AM]
  had a low-power telescopic sight, but was otherwise a basic antiaircraft gun.  In 1980s, the GDF-002 was introduced, using a
  higher-power sight and digital data transmission; it can also be used in conjunction with radar systems.  The GDF-003 increases
  the integration possibilities to include vehicle equipped with the Marksman turret or Skyguard radar system.  The GDF-005 adds an
  autonomous gunsighting system so that several guns may be remote-controlled; an automatic reloader with ammunition storage on
  the gun, a laser rangefinder with ballistic computer, and better cannons.  The cannons used in the GDF-001, 002, and 003 are
  KDBs; the 005 uses KDC autocannons.

  20mm Vulcan
       Notes:  The Vulcan, and its upgraded version, the PIVAD, is one of the most common air defense guns in the world, whether in
  trailer-mounted versions, fixed mountings, naval mountings, and vehicular use.  A modified form is a very common aircraft gun. 
  The Vulcan is a six-barreled rotary cannon that fires at an extremely rapid rate of fire, projecting a virtual wall of metal at targets. 
  The standard model has a range-only radar and a generator; the PIVAD adds a new digital optical sight, and a ballistic computer. 
  A third model, the Basic Vulcan, is designed for export to poorer countries; it deletes the radar, digital sight, and power controls for
  elevation and traverse.

  25mm M-242 Chain Gun
       Notes:  Also known as the Bushmaster, this autocannon is fitted to the M-2 and M-3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the LAV-25,
  as well as US Navy deck mountings.  It is also employed on MOWAG Piranhas used by the Saudis.  Rounds may be fired on
  semiautomatic, ROF 2, ROF3, or ROF5.  This weapon fires both US-made and European ammunition.  The mechanism is actuated
  by a chain drive, hence the name. It is noteworthy that before Operation Iraqi Freedom, the US Army was heavily considering
  replacing the Bradley’s 25mm M-242 with a heavier-caliber autocannon; however, the 25mm M-242 has outperformed expectations
  and its replacement is no longer being considered.

  25mm Objective Crew-Served Weapon
       Notes:  This weapon was designed to partially replace the Mark 19, ASP, and M-2HB.  The OCSWs rounds, like the OICWs
  grenade launcher rounds, can be set to airburst over a target’s heads or strike the target directly.  The OCSW fires a special 25mm
  round with a computerized proximity fuse, either HE or HEDP.  The OSCW is fired from a lightweight tripod developed especially
  for this weapon, or it may be fired from a NHT mount.  The OCSW uses a computerized laser sight, a slightly improved version of
  the IR imaging sight on the OICW. The OCSW is fed from special cassettes of 22 or 74 rounds. 
       Twilight 2000 Notes: The Objective Crew-Served Weapon (OCSW) was rushed into service several years ahead of its target
  date, however, few were available by the Twilight War.
       Merc 2000 Notes: Budget cuts largely ended deployment of this weapon.

  30mm Bushmaster II
       Notes: This weapon is an upgraded M-242 Chain Gun, and retains 70% commonality of parts with that weapon.  The
  Bushmaster II can use the same ammunition as the GAU-8, and can also fire 30mm Rarden and KCB ammunition.  It is used on
  US Navy deck mounts, and on the Swedish CV-30, and on some versions of the AAAV.

  35mm Bushmaster III
       Notes:  This is a belt-fed autocannon which is just beginning to be mounted on AFVs; antiaircraft and naval use is still more
  common.  The Norwegian variant of the CV-9040, for example, uses the Bushmaster III. 70% of the parts of this weapon are
  compatible with the Bushmaster I and II.  It fires ammunition identical to that of the 35mm Oerlikon autocannon, though some new
  warhead types were developed along with the Bushmaster III.  The Bushmaster III has been designed to, after the replacement of
  the barrel and some monor parts, to be able to fire 50mm Supershot ammunition, effectively becoming a 50mm autocannon.  As of
  yet, this has not been done on an operational basis, but the concept has been thoroughly tested and is ready for deployment upon
  request.
       Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon has been mounted some versions of the M-2 and M-3 Bradley.

  75mm ARES XM-274
       Notes: Initial development of this heavy autocannon began in 1973 as part of the US Army’s HSTV-L and HIMAG programs; the
  
  US Autocannons
  file:///E|/My%20Webs/autocannons/us_autocannons.html[2/26/2015 4:00:55 AM]
  development was sponsored by the US DoD’s ARRADCOM Large Caliber Weapons Laboratory, and though the design work was
  done by ARES personnel, most of the work was done at this facility and ARRADCOM provided partial funding.  The XM-274 was
  originally going to be used in both a light armored gun system as well as in a self-propelled antiaircraft gun system, but the HSTV-
  L and HIMAG programs came to naught.  However, in 1981, ARES received renewed interest in the XM-274 from the Army, as
  possible armament for its RDF/LT program vehicle, the supposed replacement for the M-551 Sheridan at the time.  In conjunction
  with AAI, a light armored gun system which could be airdropped was designed, using a low-profile turret and a special feed
  system for the gun.  However, this program too eventually came to naught.  ARES and MOWAG got together and produced a test
  version of the Piranha II armed with this gun, but no one seemed interested.  Test vehicles with the XM-274 as armament were
  also made on a LAV-25 chassis, again with no takers. Eventually, the gun was shelved, though ARES still retains the design in
  their inventory and is willing to put it into production if someone is interested.
       The XM-274 is a heavy autocannon firing revolutionary (for the time) case-telescoped ammunition.  In vehicular applications,
  the gun is fed from a 36-round carousel in the floor of the vehicle under the low-profile turret, though ARES is willing to consider
  and has proposed other feed designs.  The CTA ammunition reduces its volume and its weight, as well as making feed more
  reliable.  The XM-274’s design called electrical priming of the rounds and a recoil/hydropneumatic system for operation.  Spent
  cases are ejected upwards and outside of the vehicle.  The XM-274 is designed to function optimally firing in short bursts of 1-5
  rounds, with a cyclic rate of one round per second.  The barrel is fairly long at L/75.48 (5.661 meters), giving it good accuracy and
  power despite the relatively small caliber of its rounds.
       At the time of the cancellation of ARES’s entry in the RDF/LT program, ARES was working on a 90mm version of the XM-274,
  but the rate of research was slow as ARES concentrated on the 75mm version, and only two such prototypes were made.
       Twilight 2000 Notes: In the Twilight 2000 timeline, this autocannon is mounted on the LAV-75 light armored gun system.

  90mm ARES "XM-275"
       Notes: This grew out of the XM-274 project in the early 1980s, when the Army expressed a wish for an ARES/AAI RDF/LT with
  greater firepower (and they were asking for the same from RDF/LT prototypes in general. The gun was never mounted on a
  vehicle or even in a mockup or turret; however, the basic gun system was built to the same standards as the XM-274 and AAI
  drew up plans for a carrier vehicle.  In the end, though, the gun barrel was simply too long and the vehicle itself unable to be
  airdropped from the C-130 or the C-141 (it was meant to equip the 82n's Airborne in addition to light formations).  The two working
  prototypes reportedly still exist, but are mothballed.
       The ARES 90mm gun would have required a bigger vehicle with a bigger turret to make room for the gun and it's ammunition. 
  It too is fed by a 36-round carousel on the floor of the vehicle.  The barrel of the ARES 90mm is not as long relative to its caliber,
  being 56.61 calibers long.  Optimal fire is still a burst of 1-5 rounds, though ARES recommended 3-round bursts to conserve
  ammunition and because the rounds themselves are capable of more damage potential than the 75mm ARES rounds.  Operation
  is identical to the XM-274.
       "XM-275" is the Twilight 2000 designation, or more likely, "M-275."

  30mm Zastava M-86
       Notes:  This Yugoslavian design is intended for mounting on armored vehicles or antiaircraft mounts.  The M-68 can feed from
  either side, but is not a dual-feed weapon; only one belt may be loaded in the weapon at a time.  It is designed for low-recoil
  operation, but its belt-pulling power is not great, limiting the potential belt length.  Firing is electrical.
