could be loaded at any angle up to 45°. These guns suffered from dispersion problems so the original muzzle velocity of 1,000 metres per second (3,300 ft/s) was reduced to 850 metres per second (2,800 ft/s) with AP shells. Shell weight was also reduced from 50 kilograms (110 lb) to 47.5 kilograms (105 lb) in an attempt to resolve these problems, but were only partially successful. The main reason for the dispersion problem was because the guns were mounted too close together on a common cradle, which also complicated loading of the guns.

The gun mounts had electrically powered training, elevation, hoists, rammers and the guns shared a common cradle. Improvements in ammunition handling meant that the rate of fire for the Model 1929 was nearly twice as fast as the Model 1926. Loading was at +20° for the Model 1926, while the model 1929
