Or dual/quad 20mm... and the old dual 40mm. We have the last WWII LCS tied up and being restored over at Mare Island (former naval shipyard). With its 3”50 cal up front, two dual 40mm, several 20mm, a BUNCH of Ma Deuces and 2 81mm mortars, she has enough firepower to deal with any Zeta gangster! (LCSs were Landing Craft Support ships in WWII and saw a lot of action at most of our Pacific landings)

All the 20mm and the 40mm mounts have long since been welded solid and are in concrete in front of the Frostbite Falls VFW, or are rebar in some interstate. I doubt you could even find the blue prints...

I even heard a rumor that the Ma Deuces are now built in Belgium, under license, and imported. I don't know if that's true, tho...
