The Ho-401 cannon was installed in the Ki-102 "Randy" ground attack aircraft. It was primarily a strafing weapon, although it is credited witha single highly dubious claim of shooting down a B-29. It was essentially a scaled-up Ho-203 using a 57mm tank round. Like the Ho-203, its rate of fire depended on the choice of recoil buffer fluid, but 80 rounds per minute was typical. It used a long recoil falling-block breech action and was fed from a 17-round endless (closed loop) belt.
