Description
The 30 mm HS 825 is a high performance aircraft autocannon. Developed by Hispano-Suiza in the early 1950s, it features very high rate of fire and muzzle velocity, particularly the latter when compared to other equivalents of its time like the 30 mm ADEN and 30 mm DEFA (541, 551, and 552). The gun has a fire rate of 1,000 rounds per minute and an average muzzle velocity of 1,050 m/s.
The design of the 30 mm HS 825 is based on an enlarged 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS 404 but with a dedicated belt feeding mechanism. The weapon was produced in two barrel lengths, L/53 and L/70. The cartridge used in the gun is a 30 x 136 mm rimless cartridge weighing 590-600 g complete with projectile. Each projectile weighs approximately 215 g.
The weapon was never formerly adopted by any country due to a variety of problems. During Swedish tests in the early '50s, it was found that the gun leaked powder gas from the chamber, which after every 10 shots of fully automatic fire became concentrated enough to ignite and spark. Due to this, the Swedish air force decided to adopt the 30 mm ADEN instead, a fate which probably occurred elsewhere in the world as well. However the weapon was fitted to a variety of prototype aircraft, such as the Swiss FFA P-16 and the Italian Sagittario 2.

Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High rate of fire
- High muzzle velocity
- High burst mass
Cons:
- No AP ammo
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
