-The ShVAK is a 20mm cannon. Originally design to meet a requirement of a 12.7x108mm aircraft machine intended to use the same cartridges as the [[DShK (12.7 mm)|DShK]] machine gun. The result was the ShVAK 12.7mm machine designed at Tula Arsenal by S.V. Vladimirov which was a scaled up version of the [[ShKAS (7.62 mm)|ShKAS]] action.  It was first used in synchronized mount on the [[I-16 (Family)|I-16]] and planned for use on the cancelled Yatsenko I-28 fighter. However, the action meant the ShVAK gun needed to use rimmed cartridges while the DShK used rimless cartridges. As a result, the machine gun was phased in favor of the [[Berezin UB (12.7 mm)|Berezin UB]] which could use DShK ammunition.

-Between 1935 and 1936, the design was modified to fire a 20mm cartridge making the ShVAK a cannon. It retained the "bird-cage" feed system that gradually de-linkied a cartridge and had the gas cylinder moved under the barrel to create an more compact profile. It became the standard Soviet aircraft cannon during World War II used a number of aircraft from the [[I-153P]] and I-16 fighters, to the [[Hurricane Mk IIB (USSR)|Soviet Lend-Lease Hurricane Mk IIBs]] to the wings of the [[Tu-2 (Family)|Tu-2 "Bat"]] the ground attack version of the [[Pe-2 (Family)|Pe-2 "Buck"]], on flexible mounts in the [[Pe-8]] and [[Yer-2 (Family)|Yer-2]] bombers, and on [[IL-2 (1941)|early variants of the IL-2 "Shturmovik"]] ground attack aircraft. In 1952, The United States tested captured gun where they noted it had the same range and rate of fire as their [[M3 (20 mm)|M3,]] but was lighter than that design. However, it was made of non-heat-treated parts that were filed down to fit. After World War II, the ShVAK was replaced by the Berezin B-20 which was even lighter but just as powerful.
