It is a 25mm cannon. Never heard of a fish cannon. Potato gun, but not
fish cannon.


Wrong. It is a 62 caliber 76mm Otobreda.


I'm a believer.


It certainly looks a lot bigger than 25mm, that's only 1 inch.

I don't understand the 62 caliber reference at all.


Well, I looked it up, and it is called that. It's also called a 3" gun.
Maybe Tom can explain how 62 calibre equates to 76mm. He knows a lot about
guns.
