Despite this, the potential of the gun was such that Spandau arsenal was engaged to help develop and fine-tune the design, leading to a production contract for 120 Becker Type M2 guns in June 1916. In addition to the orders for aircraft guns placed with Becker, Spandau and MAN also received a contract to build Becker cannon for the Army. The Spandau works developed the gun further, producing it as the Spandau Type 3 20 mm cannon, which was heavier and had a slower rate of fire at 250/min.
The gun's potential required assistance from Spandau arsenal to improve its design. This resulted in a production contract for 120 Becker Type M2 guns in June 1916. Orders for aircraft guns were placed with Becker and Spandau, while MAN received a contract to manufacture Becker cannons for the Army. The Spandau works enhanced the gun's design, creating it as the Spandau Type 3 20 mm cannon, which was heavier and had a slower rate of fire at 250/min.
