¹⁄350

The 20mm Oerlikon was a free swinging weapon, operated by maximum gas pressure.The pedestal single mount was a design used on a myriad of vessels throughout the Second World War.

The Oerlikon had a high rate of fire and could come into action very quickly. One of the greatest advantages of the Oerlikon was that it had a barrel which could be replaced in about 30 seconds after prolonged fire at sea against multi-plane attacks. It could be bolted down almost anywhere.
