 == Usage in battles ==
 The GIAT M.621 performs well in an anti-plane role with a high rate of fire, being able to dismantle critical parts of aircraft fairly quickly. On the [[AH-60 (Israel)|AH-60]] the lead for the cannon can automatically be tracked when a target is locked, enhancing the lethality and effectiveness of the weapon.
-In an anti-ground role, the GIAT performs worse when compared to other helicopter-mounted cannons from other nations. With a maximum penetration of 40mm, only light vehicles such as BMPs can be destroyed with most tanks being invulnerable even from the roof. The GIAT also does not have access to APDS ammunition unlike other nations cannons.
