The Type 92 20mm Anti-aircraft gun, also referred to as a ‘machine cannon,’ was Japan’s most numerous light anti-aircraft weapon of World War II, with a total production run of roughly 2500. The 20mm gun was essentially a scaled-up version of the French 13.2mm Hotchkiss machine-gun, sharing much of its mechanism with the smaller design.
The gun was highly portable and could be set up in a matter of minutes by an experienced crew. The weapon could also be fired while still on its running wheels, but was far less accurate. With a vertical range of 3500m, the light gun primarily served to defend against fighter-bombers and low-altitude attack craft. The high calibre and reasonably high rate of fire also made the design effective against enemy infantry.
