The MK 103 was also developed into another anti-aircraft gun, the MK 303 Br, with an even higher muzzle velocity (at 1080 m/s). The Germans however did not have time to launch mass-production; only 189 Flak 103/38's and 222 MK 303 Br's were built until the end of World War II, alongside a series of experimental 3 cm Flakvierling 's featuring ...
The 3 cm MK 303 Flak and twin-mounted 3 cm MK 303 Flakzwilling (M44) were experimental 30 mm anti-aircraft guns developed in Nazi Germany. They fired the powerful 30x210mm round and only 222 were produced. [ 1 ]

Both retain the Pattern 1907 hilt ...
