Walther P5 The Walther P5 is a 9mm semi - automatic pistol developed in the mid - 1970s by the German small arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen . It was designed with the German police forces in mind , who sought to replace existing 7 . 65mm pistols with a modern service sidearm incorporating enhanced safety features and chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum . A subsequent bid resulted in the Walther P5 being introduced into service alongside the SIG - Sauer P225 ( designated P6 within the West German Federal Police ) and Heckler & Koch P7 . Design details . The pistol incorporates many new design features , including a new aluminum alloy frame , trigger mechanism , dual - control mechanism , firing pin safety ( US patent number 4313274 dated 1979 , authored by Walter Ludwig ) . The Walther P5 is a recoil - operated , locked - breech , 9 mm semi - automatic pistol . It utilizes the same design principles as the Walther P38 pistol of World War II fame . The barrel does not tilt following firing in the way that Browning ' s system does , but rather moves straight back approximately . This system results in a very accurate pistol since the barrel is kept parallel with the frame during / after firing . The trigger is a standard double action / single action trigger . The slide lock also doubles as the decocker and is found on the left side of the frame . Pressing it once will release the slide , pressing it a second time will drop the hammer without firing the gun . Manufactured in Ulm , West Germany , by Carl Walther Sportwaffen GmbH , the P5 was a further development of the famous Walther P38 and P1 series . Development began following requests by German police and federal agencies for a new sidearm . Walther engineers decided to use the P1 model as the basis of the P5 and gave it a similar locking system , reinforced frame , and dual recoil springs . In addition , the Walther improved the extractor , shortened the barrel , and increased the slide length . Safety was enhanced by utilizing an innovative pivoting firing pin that can move forward only when the trigger is pulled . In addition , the P1 ' s slide - mounted decocker / safety was moved to a frame mounted decocker / slide stop multi - lever . Unlike most modern semi - automatic pistols , the P5 ejects spent casings to the left . This may make it a more attractive firearm for left - handed shooters . Variants . Walther P5 Compact . Walther P5 Compact : This is the shorter and lighter version of the full - size P5 . Approx 3 , 000 examples of this pistol were adopted in the 1980s by the British Army as Pistol L102A1 ( NATO Stock Number 1005 - 99 - 978 - 4952 ) for issue to the Royal Irish Regiment ( Home Service ) as a Personal Protection Weapon . A small number may have been issued to 14 Intelligence Company , an all - arms unit active in Northern Ireland .

25 mm Hotchkiss anti - aircraft gun The Hotchkiss 25 mm anti - aircraft gun was an anti - aircraft autocannon designed by the French firm of Hotchkiss . It served in World War II with French , Japan ese and other nations ' forces . Other than the designer company and the calibre , this weapon is not related to the semi - automatic 25 mm Hotchkiss anti - tank gun , in particular , the cartridge used is different . Development . After World War I the French military expressed a need for an anti - aircraft autocannon . The Hotchkiss company submitted its 25 mm design , but it was rejected as being too slow - firing , so the weapon was proposed for export instead . In 1938 , as the international situation was worsening , and the favoured Schneider 37 mm autocannon was still not ready for production , the French military decided to reconsider its refusal to Hotchkiss , who had just won a contract with Romania . The export guns were held in France and impressed into domestic service . The original tripod was found to be unstable , which led to the development of a revised variant with a triangular base with a two - wheel carriage . This new variant was chosen for mass production , but at the time of the German attack in May 1940 , only a few hundred of these guns were in service . With them and only approximately two hundred Oerlikons , the lack of modern light AA guns greatly hampered the French army in the campaign . Foreign use . Romania eventually received a shipment of the guns in 1943 , after the Germans had captured them in France in 1940 . Japan bought a license to manufacture the weapon , which became the Type 96 and was used on most Japanese warships of World War II as the Type 96 25 mm AT / AA Gun . The Spanish Republic bought these weapons for its Navy in December 1935 . Five were received in January 1936 and installed during the Spanish Civil War in the destroyers " Jose Luis Díez " , " Lepanto " and " Ulloa " . After the Civil War , these weapons were used during the 1940s .
