Editing SD:Fs-FlaK 38 20mm (section)

==Overview==
Flugabwehrkanone 38 was an update of the 2&nbsp;cm Flak 30 produced by Rheinmetall. The design was based on the Swiss C/30 autocannon, which was in turn derived from Swiss Solothurn ST-5, which fired one of the most powerful 20&nbsp;mm rounds in the world. The autocannon distinguished itself in the Spanish Civil War, leading to the aforementioned Flak 30 being developed specifically for the Heer. 

The Flak 38 20&nbsp;mm autocannon was an upgrade addressing the most common problems of the Flak 30: Increasing its rate of fire to 220 RPM from 120 and introducing a new mount that allowed for quickly setting the gun up and breaking it down. It entered service with the Heer and Kriegsmarine in 1939. 

A total of over 144,000 units were produced between 1934 and 1945, making it one of the most widely produced weapons in the German arsenal. It was mounted on a variety of platforms, including stationary emplacements and self-propelled mounts, and available in a quadruple form: The Flakvierling 38. Although intended for use against aircraft, it was a powerful heavy machine gun, comparable in role to the Browning M2.
