Type 210 100 mm naval gun

The Type 210 automatic single 100 mm naval gun is the Chinese modification of the Compact model of the French 100 mm naval gun.

There are at least two variants, with both sharing similar characteristics with the French weapon.

[1] The Type 210 was developed to make the French gun suitable for Chinese deployment.

Furthermore, the Chinese added the capability to fire laser- and infrared-guided shells; this required significant changes to the magazine.

The rate of fire was reduced when switching between different types of ammunition.
