The photos show a quadruple turret assembled from four 2cm cannons vz. 38 chambered for 20 x 138 Solothurn cartridge. The cannons had a muzzle brake. The 2cm 151/20 air cannon is chambered for the 20 x 82 cartridge. These guns (151/20) were lafeted as anti-aircraft triplets - these guns did not have a recoil brake - the left and right guns had a flame arrestor, the middle one did not.


Both types of guns were once in the collections of the VHÚ in Prague, stored in the courtyard of the Invalidovna. Today only the cannons themselves remain. Unfortunately, the lafettes have been destroyed.
