20mm MK-20 Rh-202

     Notes:  The MK20 Rh-202 has a high rate of fire, yet low recoil forces, and can thus be mounted in a variety of vehicles and mounts.  It is a dual-feed weapon that feeds from the top, and the type of round fired may be selected by a simple switch.  The Rh-202 can keep firing even in extremes of temperature, water, and contamination.

20mm Rheinmetall AA Twin Gun System

     Notes:  This is a light AAA gun system using two Rh-202 autocannons.  The Rh-202 cannon is a fairly common one in European service.  The Rheinmetall AA System is remarkable in that it can be almost completely field stripped without the use of any tools.  Each gun is belt fed from an ammunition box containing two belts with 140 rounds per belt.  The gunsight has a magnification of x5, or 1x for a wider field of view (normally used against low-flying aircraft).  A computer is incorporated in the sight for calculating the proper lead for moving targets.

25mm Mauser MK-25

     Notes:  This German autocannon was first developed as a replacement for the autocannon on the Marder, then an Rh-202.  Some ASCOD IFVs are also fitted with this weapon.  75% of the parts on this weapon are interchangeable with those on the MK-30.  The MK-25 is a dual feed weapon. 

     Twilight 2000 Notes: Replacements with this autocannon began with the Marder in 1994, with some 250 vehicles modified before the start of the Twilight War.

30mm Mauser/KUKA Arrow

     Notes:  This antiaircraft gun is similar in appearance to the Greek Artemis gun, but has a computerized fire control system that allows shots at +2.  This fire control computer may also be slaved to an external radar unit to allow shots at +3.  The gun mechanisms are powered by a 1.5kW generator.  Gun leveling and lowering onto jacks is done mechanically, and setup time is fast for a gun of its size.  Besides Germany, this gun is used by Thailand.  The autocannons used are MK-30s.
