The Type 99 Model 1 Machinegun is a Japanese autocannon chambered in 20×72mmRB. It is based on the Oerlikon Autocannon, specifically the Oerlikon FF, and was widely used during World War II by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Known for its reliability and firepower, the Type 99 was mounted on various Japanese fighter planes and bomber aircraft, providing significant fighting capacity against both aerial and ground targets. It is relatively common in Oceanyka's arms market, since its parts are largely interchangeable with those of other Oerlikon FF derivatives.

Do note that penalties from firing at long-range apply as per the Basic Rules (TBD).
It is impossible to perform automatic fire at a target that is at Very Long Range (VLR) or Extreme Range (EXR) without a stable firing platform.
