 == History ==
-Like the other nations that participated in World War II, Japan initially armed their planes with magazine fed auto-cannons. However, the limited ammunition supply of magazine fed cannons was identified as a limiting factor in their effectiveness and so Japan followed the lead of other nations and transitioned to belt-fed cannons during the war. For the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service, the belt-fed cannon of choice was the Ho-5 a scaled-up 20mm version of the [[Ho-103 (12.7 mm)|Ho-103]] machine gun which was itself a copy of the American [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|M2 Browning]] machine gun. The Ho-5 saw use on late war Japanese fighters on both the wings and in the engine cowlings and was retrofitted to be used in the flexible mounts of Japanese bombers.
