The M197 is an American 20mm three-barrel autocannon, the first prototypes of which appeared in the mid-1960s and entered service with the US armed forces during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975). The total weight of the weapon is 60 kilograms. The initial velocity of the projectile fired from this weapon is up to 1030 m / s, and the theoretical rate of fire exceeds 1500 rounds per minute. The M197 cannon was developed on the basis of the first combat experience of the Vietnam War, which clearly showed that the firepower of the 7.62mm Minigun machine guns is insufficient in some combat situations. At the same time, it was assumed that the new cannon would be the main armament of the new attack helicopters, and that it would use the Gatling system. In order to shorten the research and development work, many elements and solutions known from the M61 Vulcan cannon were borrowed in the new weapon. The M197 cannon became the main weapon of the Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopters, as well as - many years later - the Agusta A129 Mangusta machines. Incidentally, it can be mentioned that General Dynamics Armament Systems has the right to produce this weapon and its know-how.
