I just removed the following line:
I do not really understand what this says about the Oerlikon: is it used as a "not-deck" gun, or not used at all ? If it is not, this sentence is not really appropriate: we are not going to list all ships and vehicles on which this thing is not used, are we ? Rama 08:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The "Oerlikon 20 mm gun" is/was not just one weapon but a whole family of them. I am therefore going to extend this article greatly. -- Cabalamat 21:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
The Hudson Motor Car Company built large numbers of Oerlikon guns during WW2 and also was in large part responsible for the re-engineering of them for mass production. The original Swiss versions were practically hand built like fine watches, slow and expensive to produce. Contact the Hudson Essex Terraplane Historical Society for more information. http://www.hudsonclub.org/hethist/hethisthome.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody ( talk • contribs) 11:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Was the U.S. version chambered for 20×110mm like the Hispano-Suiza? -- UnneededAplomb ( talk) 07:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
some mention of the quadmount 20MM should probably be made, Brian in denver ( talk) 00:56, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Why is are the words "Applicaton Programming Interface" used in parens behind "API Blowback".
Excuse me but that term did not exist when the gun was created - what gives?

There were many changes made to the weapon by the Americans (and presumably the British) as the original was unsuited to mass production. This info needs to be added. See http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_2cm-70_mk234.htm

Added link to German Wikipedia as there's no reference to the industrialist Reinhold Becker in the English version. Is this OK? I found the automatic translation to English to be quite good. Muriot ( talk) 21:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
