The gun is a belt-fed autocannons with 56 rounds capacity per belt and a rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute. The gun were usually found in either a single-mounted version on a coastal boat and an early destroyer, as well as a quad mount version found on a British wartime destroyer.

-* [[QF Mark V (40 mm)]]: The Bofors autocannons is mostly superior than the Pom-poms in almost every way. The Bofors have a more powerful rounds, higher shell velocity, and features auto-fed mechanism that enable it to fire continuously. While the Pom-pom technically has higher rate of fire than the Bofors (200 vs. 156 rpm), the lack of auto-fed mechanism reduce the actual rate of fire of the Pom-pom to 115 rpm.

-The 2pdr Pom-pom performs remarkably well for a gun originated from the Great War era. The gun has superior rate of fire than that of the famous Bofors autocannons, though it is handicapped by the lack of auto-fed mechanism and low shell velocity which reduce the range of the guns to 3 km at best.

-In most parts, the Pom-pom's usage is mostly similar to that of the Bofors with a few distinctive differences. As the gun will never jam due to the belt-fed mechanism, the Pom-pom performs better with a short but rapid burst to quickly dispatch the opponents, but the frequent reload will reduce the gun's effectiveness, especially when the enemy is getting too close. Thus, the Pom-pom will often requires trigger discipline at closer range to accurately hit and destroy the targets before they can attack with bombs or torpedoes.
