The MK213 was developed was developed in 2 calibres, one in 30mm utilising the 30 x 85B cartridge in 20mm utilising the 20 x 135 cartridge case. After WW2, the gun was developed by the British calling it the ADEN (Armament Development, Enfield) cannon. Two rounds were developed in 20mm and 30mm. All the rounds had the same overall length. The 30mm rounds were developed with two case lengths, one with a 86mm belted case called the Low Velocity with was a shorter case and a bigger projectile. The other had a 110mm belted case and this was called the High Velocity round with a longer cartridge case and a shorter projectile which had a higher velocity.
