Is an HMG, not a cannon.
Hence the "MG" designation, as opposed to the "MK" of larger guns. G = Gewehr, gun. K = Kanone, cannon. Maybe some standards the MG151 and especially the 151/20 are "autocannons", but to teh Germans they weren't. To the Japanese, their Ho-103 12.7mm guns were "autocannons". The Germans used explosive shells in their 13mm MG 131; that's over the 12.7mm "cutoff" that many people use, yet we call that a "heavy machine gun". At what point does a 15mm gun become a "cannon"? What if it's firing solid AP shot, not shells? What about a 20mm firing solid AP shot/bullets? Some would call 20mm the minimum size for a "cannon", others say 13mm. I say it was a 15mm HMG developed into a 20mm cannon, just to make things simple; as far as the Germans were concerned, the MG 151, MG 151/20 and MG FF were all "machine guns" though.

Missing information on "MX" super mineshell with 25 grams of filler
Yeah, if you guys would not keep revising history, that'd be nice. They existed, maybe take a look at the source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.63.255.208 (talk) 08:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
