This was a Hotchkiss design that proved unwieldy (due to its heavy naval mountings, which weighed at least 249 pounds or 113 kg) and ineffective in combat.  Like its closest Allied counterpart, the Browning 0.50 machine gun, its round was much too light to make it an effective naval light antiaircraft weapon. It was air-cooled, with distinctive cooling fins around the chamber, and it used a gas-operated action. The gas cylinder connections made barrel changes difficult and slow. The magazine held 30 rounds, reducing the effective rate of fire to about 250 rounds per minute. The maximum effective range was much less than the nominal range, about 1500 meters or 4900 feet.

It also saw limited use as a land weapon, with some 1494 available to the Japanese Army towards the end of the war.
