Type 99 autocannon



Overview:
The Type 99-1 cannon was a Japanese version of the Oerlikon FF and Oerlikon FFL 20mm autocannons. They were adopted by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1939 and served as the standard aircraft autocannon during World War II for the Japanese. The 99 in the designation derived from the Japanese imperial calendar year, 1939 corresponding to the Japanese year 2599. The formal designations were Type 99-1 machine gun and Type 99-2 machine gun. (Japanese: Kyū-Kyū Shiki Ichigō Kizyū, Kanji: 九九式一号機銃) and Kyū-Kyū Shiki Nigō Kizyū, Kanji: 九九式二号機銃) The Japanese Navy classified 20-mm weapons as machine guns rather than cannon. These weapons were never used by the Japanese Army -- There was almost no commonality in gun types or ammunition between the Japanese Army and Navy.
