This video offers a quick look at a rare Vickers, Sons & Maxim 37mm MkIII "Pompom" Automatic Cannon, currently on display at the Canadian War Museum. The cannon fires a 37 x 124mm cartridge with either explosive or armor-piercing projectiles at a rate of 300 rounds per minute. It was historically used on a coastal patrol vessel and, despite its firepower, saw limited combat use, with some being adapted for anti-aircraft roles by World War I. The video highlights the historical significance and scarce nature of this particular firearm.
