Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

The 20 mm M195 has a magazine of 950 rounds and fires at a rate of 750 to 800 rpm.

Available ammunition

Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells)

Comparison with analogues

Comparable to the 3-barreled 20 mm cannons on the AH-1F and AH-1Z, the M195 boasts better overheating qualities.

Usage in battles

The 20 mm can be used up to 2 km, exceeding the effective range of the 7.62 mm M134 minigun that loses effectiveness past 1.5 km.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Cannon mounted under the left pylon wing, can't rotate like nose-mounted miniguns
  • Having no tracers in the belt allows to keep your position hidden

Cons:

  • Only one belt available, no other belt options
  • No tracers, making it difficult to hit moving targets.

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this weapon. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
