    KE and highest penetration with specific projectile.
    Or lets put it more simple: The gun that can propelle a given projectile at the highest velocity at extended ranges.

    I believe you are referring at those late 19th century 37mm automatic cannons, made by Maxim, Hotchkiss etc.

    Hello.
    Sometimes in books it's the nickname given to the MP 38/40.
    But it is also the nickname of the Shpagin PPSh 41 during the Korean War.

    And the weapon called "chopo"? :roll:

    An easy clue: when the germans got the license it lost it's name outside Spain.
