+The ZPZ02 (Chinese: ZPZ02式30毫米机炮) is currently the designated caliber for PLAGF/PLANMC's IFVs that are equipped with 30 mm autocannon, which is based on the 2A72 imported alongside with the BMP-3 turret system. The standalone version with only the 30 mm autocannon is named ZPT99 and has been used since the early 2000s; although sharing mostly identical performance to Russian counterpart, Chinese developed both APDS and APFSDS for the gun, further boosting its combat capability.

-''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''
+Currently, the gun is only deployed on QN506 fire support vehicle; as part of its weaponry system, although there are dozens of missiles onboard, the gun is a good option to take down light vehicles thanks to its rate of fire; thanks to the APDS/APFSDS as researchable, they they can tear down MBTs from their sides - in most cases, the penetration is more than enough to take them down right with a few bursts aside from Israeli MBTs with relatively thick side armor.
 === Pros and cons ===
-''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''
