General info
The 20 mm M195 has a magazine of 950 rounds and fires at a rate of 750 to 800 rpm.
Available ammunition
Describe the shells that are available for the cannon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells)
Comparison with analogues
Comparable to the 3-barreled 20 mm cannons on the AH-1F and AH-1Z, the M195 boasts better overheating qualities.
Usage in battles
The 20 mm cannon is mounted under the left pylon wing, and can't rotate like the nose-mounted miniguns. The cannon can be used up to 2 km, exceeding the effective range of the 7.62 mm M134 minigun (1.5 km).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Having no tracers in the belt allows to keep your position hidden

- Only one belt available, no other belt options
- No tracers, making it difficult to hit moving targets.
