The Ho-5 (Army Type 2) was a Japanese aircraft autocannon used during World War II. Developed from the Ho-103 machine gun, it was a version of the American Model 1921 Browning aircraft machine gun. It replaced the Ho-1 and Ho-3 (Army Type 97) in general service. The Ho-5 was belt-fed using typical Browning-style steel disintegrating links. The cartridge used was a shortened version of the Allied 20 x 110mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404. The Ho-5 was used mostly as wing mounts in late-war fighters, but saw limited use as cowl mounted in fighters and as flexible mounted (retrofit) in bombers. ==Specifications== *Caliber: 20mm (0.8 in) *Ammunition: 20 x 94 (84.5 g) *Weight: 35 kg (77 lb) *Rate of fire: 950 rounds/min *Muzzle velocity: 750 m/s (2,460 ft/s) *Magazine: 150-round belt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ho-5 cannon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
