That is what I always assumed.  RoF on all 20mm cannon, unless you jump from the A6M5b to the Ki-84, in AH are more or less the same and the 30mm MK108 is right in that area for RoF.

On another forum, there was an interesting contribution made by someone whose father had been an armourer in WW2 (Australian, IIRC). They had a competition to see who could boost the performance of the Hisso by the most. By doing a lot of careful polishing and adjusting etc he managed to win the competition with a measured RoF of 1,000 rpm. For Hissos straight from the factory, he reported that the RoF varied between 550 and 650 rpm.


He was an OZZIE I would have expected better :p
