The
Mauser MG 213 was a
20 mm aircraft-mounted
revolver cannon developed for the
Luftwaffe during
World War II. It was never put into service, but the principles formed the basis for several post-war developments by the
Allies. A
30 mm version was developed as the
MG 213C or
MK 213 and it was this that led to the British
ADEN and French
DEFA cannons.
