		The former was filled by the new 90 mm gun, which replaced the earlier 3-inch gun then in use, while work on the 120 was dusted off and mated to a new eight-wheel carriage to produce the 4.7-inch M1 when it was accepted in 1940.
		In 1944 the gun was renamed as the 120 mm Gun M1, as metric naming became the standard.
		Like the 90 mm, the 120 was typically operated in a battery of four guns, initially with an associated searchlight and SCR-268 radar, and later with the much-improved SCR-584 radar and M9 predictor that automatically laid the guns as well.

		By the mid-1930s the 20 mm was considered to be too low power against the increasingly fast planes, but instead of introducing a new gun, Krupps managed to squeeze four of the existing 20 mm guns onto a single carriage of about the same weight.
		Their high-altitude needs were originally going to be filled by a 75 mm gun from Krupp, designed in collaboration with their Swedish counterpart Bofors, but the specifications were later amended to require much higher performance.
		Guns are being increasingly pushed into specialist roles, such as the US Phalanx CIWS which uses a 20 mm M61 Vulcan gun firing at over 4,500 rounds per minute for last ditch anti-missile and anti-aircraft fighting.
