	Double acting, pneumatic bolt and sear buffer for automatic cannon - Patent 4282796
		(a) a buffer housing disposed on the cannon rearwardly of the breech;
		However, at least for large automatic cannons, mechanical spring buffers are relatively inefficient, buffer efficiency being defined as the ratio of bolt assembly counterrecoil velocity (imparted by the buffer) to recoil velocity.
		Operation of the sear during firing of the cannon 22 is enabled by a large roller 154 pivotally mounted to one side of the sear central portion 134 by a pivot pin 156.

	THE CANNON PIONEERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Fully automatic aircraft cannon, which were in effect big machine guns, were only just achieving service status at the end of the war and their development saw only very gradual progress until the 1930s.
		The ultimate cannon plane was still under construction at the end of the war, and never flew; the four-engined "Henri Paul" was intended to be fitted with a 75 mm gun and several 37 mm for self-defence.
		There were two different types of 37 mm cannon available; some confusion as to their origins exists but it appears that one was a conventional SAMC design with a rifled barrel, the other was a modified M1885 smoothbore firing canister shot.

		In an accomplished, direct comparison of the two automatic cannons on the test area of the Armament development and test center of the Eglin air Force cousin the GAU-9 of the GAU-8 was underlaid, so that the further development was stopped.
		While eight of the automatic cannons were intended for the installation into the A-10 of pilot lot models, the remaining three for quality and material testing at the soil should be used.
		The ammunition is beltless arranged along a spiral guidance in such a way in the drum that the cartridges are arranged radially, with ogives of shell to the axle center and the case soil to the outer edge of the drum.

	Rheinmetall AG - Teeth and claws for the Puma: New automatic cannon and ammunition planned
		The MK 30-2 automatic cannon has already been integrated into Austria's Ulan IFV and Spain's Pizarro system, and is now being mooted as the main armament for the Greek Army's Kentaurus ("centaur") infantry fighting vehicle.
		Developed and manufactured by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition, the MK 30-2 automatic cannon fires standard 30 mm x 173 mm ammunition and is capable of a high rate of fire, meaning that it was practically foreordained for use in infantry fighting vehicles.
		The 30 mm automatic cannon is on a floating mount.

		The air is automatically pumped into the cannon, and a projectile is automatically loaded for convenient use.
		This cannon's primary (most accurate) ammo is 1 1/4" rubber balls or table-soccer balls (foose-balls) but it also can shoot pre-cut potato projectiles.
		Another great feature about this air cannon, is the fact that the air is automatically charged in the air cannon, by aid of a CO2 canister.

		Aim the cannon sturdy target (like a tree trunk), make sure no one will be injured by the recoil, and wait for the pressure to build up.
		The Mark 1 potato cannon was a successful design but it took several minutes to load it and fire a single potato.

	Big Guns
		Cannon with a calibre of 37mm and more have never become popular as aircraft weapons, despite many attempts to adopt them, both for air-to-air combat and for air-to-surface combat.
		The interest in large aircraft cannon was revived during WWII by the steady increase in the armour thickness of tanks.
		The cannon could be mounted fixed and aimed in the same way as conventional fighter armament, or it could be made flexible, and aimed either manually or by a powered system.

		However, a variety of other automatic (as well as non-automatic) guns have been produced by this manufacturer and this article is an attempt to do justice to them.
		The involvement of Bofors in automatic weapons began in 1925, when the Swedish Navy requested the development of a 20mm AA gun.

	M39 cannon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M39 was developed by the Springfield Armory, based on the World War II-era design of the German Mauser MG 213, a 20 mm (and 30 mm) cannon developed for the Luftwaffe, but not used in combat.
		The same design inspired the British ADEN cannon and the French DEFA, but American designers chose a smaller 20 mm round to increase the weapon's rate of fire and muzzle velocity at the expense of hitting power.
		The M39 is not the same as the Hispano M3 derivatives used by the Navy (as the M3 and the later Colt Mk 12 cannon) on aircraft like the A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader, nor the Hispano-derived M24 used by some USAF aircraft of the late 1940s.

	Autocannon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They have mechanisms to automatically load the ammunition and have a faster rate of fire than artillery.
		The term cannon was used during WWII to describe guns used in aircraft, where the distinction was that the shells were explosive.
		Modern tank guns (around 120 mm calibre) have been fitted with automatic loading systems (typically Soviet Union and Russian main battle tanks, along with French, have used these for reasons of space) and although they technically might be considered to be autocannon they are not referred to as such, due to their relatively low cadence.

		The cannon loads will have belted cases so they won't load in a standard HVGLMG while the breech of the grenade cannon will be designed to chamber both types.
		The cannon rounds might also be suitable for the 25 mm Gatling cannons mounted on the flak vehicles.

		Although the term "machine gun" is often used to describe all fully automatic weapons, a distinction can be made based on the size of the bullet used.
		Design features of machine guns were applied to automatic handguns, "machine pistols", such as the Luger (although these did not yet have full automatic fire).
		The trend toward automatic rifles, lighter machine guns, and more powerful submachine guns culminated in the invention of Germany's revolutionary MP44 assault rifle, a weapon that combined characteristics of an ordinary rifle and a machine gun.

		The Royal Small Arms Factory ADEN is a 30 mm cannon used on many military aircraft, particularly those of the British RAF and FAA.
		The ADEN (named for the Armament Development Establishment, where it was designed, and Enfield, where it is produced) was developed in the late 1940s as a replacement for the older Hispano-Suiza HS 404 20 mm cannon used in British aircraft of World War II.
		It is based (as are the French DEFA and American M39 cannon) on the mechanism of the German Mauser MG 213C, an experimental revolver cannon designed for the Luftwaffe, but never used in combat.
