	ANOTHER MISSED OPPORTUNITY: THE OERLIKON FFL CANNON
		Oerlikon added a third version, the Type S, with a longer and fatter case (20x110RB).
		The weight was reduced from 43 to 34 kg (later reduced further to 30 kg) and the reduced inertia enabled the rate of fire to be increased to 490-500 rpm.
		In particular, the British were testing the bigger Oerlikon S in the late 1920s/early 1930s (including, interestingly, a belt-fed version).

	Army Technology - Mauser Automatic Cannon MK 30-2: the Answer for Fighting Vehicle Programmes
		To be effective in modern warfare, armoured vehicles need to be highly mobile, transportable by air, and offer the right ratio between protection and firepower.
		Thanks to these programmes, the Mauser MK 30-2 automatic cannon — a 30mm x 173 calibre system — and the accompanying ammunition are now in full-scale production.
		When it comes to weight, recoil force, life-cycle costs and performance, the Mauser MK 30-2 is the best choice for modern vehicle programmes and upgrades.

	MG 151 cannon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was 1941 developed into the 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon which was widely used on many types of German Luftwaffe fighters, fighter bombers, night fighters, ground attack and even bombers as part of or as their main armament during World War II.
		The 15 mm weapon was found to have lackluster performance as the main gun on Messerschmitt Bf 109 early F-2 and F-3 series aircraft, and was soon replaced by the 20 mm version to become the standard cannon for the Bf 109F-4 series onwards until it was superseded by the 30 mm MK 108 cannon.
		Compared to the earlier Oerlikon MG FF cannon, the MG 151 had a higher muzzle velocity which gave it a more predictable trajectory and higher impact velocity/longer range.

	Rheinmetall AG - Oerlikon Contraves: Specialist in Air Defence
		Moreover, there are numerous examples of Oerlikon working together with German defence contractors which now form part of the Rheinmetall Group, including Mauser-Werke Oberndorf, KUKA (in the Arrow air defence system project), and Rheinmetall Waffe Munition, with which it cooperated in the Corect project, a module for correcting the trajectory of artillery rockets.
		Rheinmetall took over Oerlikon Contraves AG in 1999 in order to bolster its position in the medium-calibre market, at the same time taking a further important step in the long-overdue consolidation of the European defence industry.
		Other Oerlikon Contraves products currently under development or already in production are the Millennium 35 mm Ahead naval gun (equipped with the 35/1000 revolver cannon); the Corect trajectory correction module for artillery rockets, and Ahead ammunition technology, developed in cooperation with RWM Schweiz AG — to name just a few.

	Oerlikon FF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Oerlikon 20 mm cannon.
		The FF were a series of 20 mm autocannon introduced by Oerlikon in the late 1920s.
		Starting in late 1940 these were replaced by the excellent Mauser MG 151/20, a very different weapon.

	Privatisierung der Sicherheit
		However, the Prussian arsenals in Spandau (Berlin) appropriated a license to produce the Mauser K 98 k to participate in the boom preceding WW I whereas the arsenals in the Kingdom of Württemberg was privatised.
		However, in spite of its international success and rapid growth Mauser was taken over in 1897 by Deutsche Waffen und Munitonsfabriken which in turn was a subsidiary of the Rheinische Metallwaarenfabrik later named Rheinmetall, which supplied Germany's imperial aspirations with canons and heavy machine guns among others.
		Mauser was taken over earlier by Rheinmetall in its drive to strengthen its position as a dominant supplier of infantry weapons in Europe above the level of automatic rifles and light machine guns.

		The standard sidearm was the 7.63 mm Mauser M1932 semi-automatic pistol, also known as C96.
		Some divisions were equipped with 37 mm PaK 35/36 anti-tank guns, and/or mortars from Oerlikon, Madsen, and Solothurn.
		Puttees are standard for soldiers and officers alike since the primary mode of movement for NRA troops was by foot.

	Vol. 11: Rüstungsindustrie (summary)
		Oerlikon's rival product, on the other hand, had repeatedly failed the tests carried out by the German Army Ordnance Department (Heereswaffenamt): the Oerlikon gun's performance in automatic firing was inferior, changing the barrel was a complicated process, and it could only fire specially manufactured ammunition.
		Once the Oerlikon gun had been introduced in the German army and navy, Germany was reliant, for its manufacture of 20-mm-Oerlikon ammunition, on purchases of specially designed cartridge cases which were mainly produced by Eidgenössische Munitionsfabrik Altdorf.
		The 14.3 million rounds of 20-mm-ammunition supplied by Oerlikon Bührle and Hispano to Axis countries during the war were roughly equivalent to the amount used by Germany to shoot down between 2200 and 2850 Allied aircraft.

		The Oerlikon F was the basis for the German MG FF and the Japanese Type 99 model 1.
		It was a derivative of the Oerlikon F cannon.
		The model 1, another derivative of the Oerlikon F gun, fired a heavy projectile, but its low muzzle velocity gave it poor penetration and poor ballistic characteristics, and its rate of fire was equally unimpressive.

	An Introduction to Anti
		The Mauser rifle was seen as a quicker and simpler way of getting the powerful cartridge into service; it was needed urgently as its penetration of up to 20 mm enabled it to pierce the armour of the Allied tanks.
		They can be divided into three categories: medium calibre (12.7-15 mm) directly inspired by the Mauser, small-bore high velocity rounds of 7.92 mm calibre, and big 20+ mm weapons which generally required at least two men to carry them.
		Oerlikon of Switzerland produced two self-loading ATRs using ammunition developed for their automatic cannon.

	Army Technology - Germany opts for Mauser Automatic Cannon MK 30-2 with Air Burst Munition
		Mauser-Werke Oberndorf Waffensysteme GmbH and Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG, both members of the Rheinmetall DeTec AG, have been selected to arm the new Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) of the Germany Army.
		The round has been developed to engage infantry and anti-tank teams and its lethality can be adjusted by varying the stand-off distance at which the sub-projectiles are released in front of the target.
		Of the various 30mm x 173 automatic cannons on the market today, the Mauser MK 30-2 has the highest rate of fire (nominal 700 rounds per minute).

	Sri Lanka EDITORIAL:: Bring them to book!
		The controversial Oerlikon gun deal has taken a dramatic turn with the revelation that there was a sinister attempt to dupe Sri Lanka into purchasing outdated cannon, which would have had a debilitating impact on the Sri Lanka Navy.
		The objective of the Navy was to expand its range of fire from 2,000 m to 3,000 m by graduating from 23mm cannon to 30mm cannon.
		The comment by the British government, which had nothing to do with the Oerlikon deal, on the propriety of the controversial agreement, and its effort to promote the KCB guns at a time when the Royal Navy is phasing them out and replacing them with Bushmaster cannon, has raised many an eyebrow.

		Certainly, the acquisition of STN Atlas in 1997, and more recently of the seemingly "unrockable" Swiss company Oerlikon Contraves, got their share of ink, but other transfers like that of Buck Neue Technologien was more kept to "connoisseur level".
		Currently being developed as a cost-effective solution to provide relief to ships or light boats that have to cruise through pirate-infested areas, the Mauser MLG 27 is a non-deck penetrating gun mount.
		Oerlikon Contraves is reputed world wide for its 35 mm air defence systems (guns, radars and fire control systems).

		The Waffenfabrik Mauser MG 151 was a 15 mm machine gun later developed into the MG 151/20 cannon which was widely used on many types of German fighter aircraft used in World War II.
		The 15 mm weapon was experienced as having a lackluster performance as the main gun on the early Messerschmitt Bf 109 F series and was soon replaced by the 20 mm version to become the standard cannon for the F-4 series onwards until it was surpassed by the 30 mm MK 108 cannon.
		It had a high muzzle velocity which makes for a stable trajectory and high impact speed/longer range than the low(er) muzzle velocity of the Oerlikon MG FF/M cannon.

		In order to achieve a higher rate of fire, this broke down the loading cycle (the main constraint on RoF) into stages by providing a revolving cylinder with several chambers, into which the ammunition was chambered and from which the fired case was subsequently extracted.
		Members of the Mauser design team therefore went to work in France (leading to the 30mm DEFA cannon), the UK (30mm Aden), the USA (20mm M39) and Switzerland (a range of different Oerlikon cannon, of which only the 30mm KCA achieved sales success).
		Ammunition feed was by means of a 75-round pan magazine (with the rounds pointing inwards) to the left side of the gun, and a rate of fire of 450 rpm was claimed.

	LE RAPPORT FINAL DE LA COMMISSION BERGIER / Volume 11
		Oerlikon Bührle a dû surmonter au moins trois obstacles avant de pouvoir faire son entrée sur le marché allemand.
		Dans le cas de la Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon, c'est l'Office allemand de l'armement, qui a décidé en 1930 de rapatrier les plans de construction pour la fabrication en série des canons Becker, perfectionnés à Oerlikon.
		C'est la raison pour laquelle Oerlikon a fondé en 1934, en collaboration avec des services de la Reichswehr, une filiale dénommée Ikaria, Gesellschaft für Flugzeugzubehör mbH, à Berlin, qui a produit jusqu'à la fin de la guerre d'importantes quantités de canons de 20 mm destinés aux avions.

		The Oerlikon S cannon was a gradual development of the Becker gun, the patents having been sold to the Swiss company.
		Among the Oerlikon users were Japan and the USSR, but the main operators of the SS were Britain and the USA.
		Since Rheinmetall had taken over Mauser, Oerlikon and a number of other European defense companies in the 1990s, series production of the MK50 was transfered to Mauser.

		Die Technologie für automatische 20-mm-Waffen beherrschten im Krieg in der Schweiz vier Firmen: Die Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon Bührle and Co. in Zürich-Oerlikon, die Hispano Suiza (Suisse) SA in Genf, die Waffenfabrik Solothurn AG in Solothurn, und die staatliche Eidgenössische Waffenfabrik Bern in Bern.
		Oerlikon Bührle zahlte deshalb in den ersten drei Kriegsjahren höhere Beträge für Provisionen und Schmiergelder als Löhne für die gesamte Belegschaft von über 3000 Beschäftigten (Tabelle 46).
		Oerlikon gründete deshalb mit Reichswehrstellen 1934 in Berlin eine Tochtergesellschaft, die Ikaria, Gesellschaft für Flugzeugzubehör mbH, die bis Ende Krieg im grossen Stil 20-mm-Kanonen zur Bewaffnung von Flugzeugen herstellte.

		However considerable progress had been made towards the professionalisation of the Army, pay and living of the rank and file having been considerably improved during the 1930s (until then the Army rank and file were mainly incorporated by forced recruitment of Indians).
		The standard rifle was the locally-produced Mauser M-1936 adopted in the 1930s.
		It had been supplemented with the Breda M39 L/45 37mm anti-tank gun and the 20 mm Oerlikon M24 L/70 AA gun.

		Il prodotto concorrenziale della Oerlikon per contro, aveva ripetutamente fallito i test dell'ufficio d'armamento tedesco: la mitragliera della Oerlikon era inferiore nel fuoco continuo, il cambio della canna era complicato e sparava solo munizione di fabbricazione speciale.
		In seguito all'introduzione delle mitragliere Oerlikon nell'esercito e nella marina la Germania, per quanto riguarda la fabbricazione della munizione Oerlikon 20 mm, dipendeva dalla fornitura di bossoli speciali, fabbricati prevalentemente dalla Fabbrica federale di munizioni Altdorf.
		A tale scopo Oerlikon fondò nel 1934 a Berlino, con organi delle forze armate tedesche, una propria affiliata, l'Ikaria, Gesellschaft für Flugzeugzubehör mbH (Ikaria, società a responsabilità limitata per accessori di aeroplani), che fino verso la fine della guerra fabbricò in grande stile mitragliere da 20 mm per l'armamento di aereoplani.
