History
The story of the Ho-203 begins in World War I with the French Canon d'Infanterie de 37 modèle 1916 TRP which was designed as a man portable weapon for destroying machine gun nests. After the war ended, Japan began licensing multiple designs from France including the Modéle 1916 TRP which became the Type 11 pattern 1922 (37 mm) Infantry Support Gun, which has a vertically sliding breech block and steel tube frame that replaces the original wheeled carriage. The Ho-203 is a variant of the Type 11 adapted for a long recoil action enabling automatic fire at a rate of 120 rounds per minute at a muzzle velocity of 1,900f/s (570m/s) and an effective range of 3,000 feet (900 meters). The Ho-203 is fed with a 15 round drum magazine and mounted as a bomber killer weapon for the Ki-45-KAI and in a Schräge Musik mount on Ki-46 for use as heavy fighters.
