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.
The JM61 is a version of the JM61A1 rotary aircraft cannon equipped on Japanese coastal vessels.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
The JM61 has the second-highest rate of fire of any naval weapon, at a whopping 3000 rounds per minute (RPM). As such, the JM61 can shred through any boat with ease and even dissect larger ships. There is also a modification available to lower the rate of fire to 450 RPM, but the decrease in effectiveness is not worth the extra time of continuous fire.
Available ammunition
Describe the shells that are available for the weapon 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).
The JM61 has a choice of 3 belts: HEI, API-T, and APDS.
- 20 mm HEI belts: HEF-I · API-T · HEF-I · HEF-I · API-T · HEF-I
- API-T: API-T · HEF-I · API-T · API-T · API-T · HEF-I
- 20 mm APDS belts: APDS · APDS · APDS · APDS

Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
- AK-230 - 30 mm CIWS cannon found on the Pr. 206s, has a third the rate of fire, but each turret has 2 barrels, meaning that the Pr. 206 effectively fires 4000 RPM
- 30 mm/54 AK-630 - 30 mm CIWS cannon mounted on the MPK Pr.12412, has an even higher rate of fire than the JM61 at 5000 RPM, but no access to any armour piercing rounds
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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- Very high rate of fire
- API-T and APDS belts can cut through most ships it meets
Cons:
- Overheats quickly, continuous fire is not recommended
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/ History" (example: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
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

- encyclopedia page on the weapon;
