Is that. I read somewere that a furter developement with higher rate of fire was on the study, but it was too late.schwarzpanzer said:
540 Kg with the complete load of 22 rounds, that can be considered sufficient only for the low rate of fire.schwarzpanzer said:
<When Reich Marshal Hermann Goering was captured and questioned on May 10, 1945, he mentioned the BK-5 experiments translated as follows:
"You might find around Germany some jet airplanes equipped with anti-tank guns. Don't blame me for such monstrostities. This was done on the explicit orders of the Fuehrer. Hitler knew nothing about the air. He may have known about the Army or Navy, but absolutely nothing about the air. He even considered the Me-262 to be a bomber and he insisted it should be called a bomber."> ( www.wpafb.af.mil )
I have not much more information, it's a redesign of the 37mm flak and it's capable of 130 rpm with a muzzle speed of 840 m/s (similar to that of BK-5), but I don't know the weight of the weapon without the mounting.schwarzpanzer said:

It was an AA weapon used pratically by all the ships of the Regia Marina in WWII, that saw some action in north-africa as an AT weapon. It had a muzzle velocity of about 820 m/s and weight from 200 to 250 Kg (depending on the fonts, that often confuse the single 1939 model with the twin 1938 model).
