The Type 2 20 mm AA Machine Cannon was a Japanese-designed anti-aircraft gun, based on the German Flak 38. It entered service in 1942. A central fire-control system was developed for Type 2, which could control and direct 6 of the guns at once.
Two of the guns were mounted on together to form the 20 mm Twin AA Machine Cannon.
