The Flak 30, entering service in 1935, was a Rheinmetall-Borsig product that became the bane of Allied aircraft. The Flak 30 was reasonably effective in the early part of the war but as the war continued, the rate of fire was found to be inadequate again increased aircraft speeds.
The cyclic rate of fire was 280 rpm with a maximum effective ceiling of 2200m.

Oooh... what big guns you have!
Hahahah. The 20mm AA gun is generally acknowledged to be the smallest of the anti-aircraft artillery. Below that calibre, you get machine guns.
