The new 3.7 cm Flak 43 was a significant improvement over the older models. The new gas lock increased the practical rate of fire to 150 rounds per minute, while at the same time reducing the weight to 1250 kg in combat and only 2000 kg in transport. The barrel was shortened to 89 calibers. It was also produced in the 3.7 cm Flakzwilling 43 twin gun mount, although this version was considered somewhat bulky and heavy. High-volume production did not begin until 1944, and by the end of the war some 7,216 had been produced (including Zwillings, each counted as two guns).
