Hello,
Anyone can help me to ID this gun?
pic from Werk Busa Grande 1915
4811065 Stellungen am Busagrande 1915.jpg

I was thinking about a double-barreled 25mm, but I can't find any information about it.

I exclude Nordenfeld gun 25x95

Could be this 25x120?

thanks in advance for your help

I think the gun in the fortification is a regular MG (of some sort) mounted in a an armoured housing. This type of housing (or similar) was used in some fort positions to protect the MG from shrapnel, splinters, and bullets.

Possibly an 8mm Shwarzlose M.7/12 ?? or Skoda M1909 ??

any pic of the gun?
did the gun originally designed as anti torpedo boat and when obsolete used as insert barrel?

AH navy bought some 25mm Palmkranz-Nordenfeld, could it be chambered for 25x120?

it seems the model of cases is 25mm M 03, or it's not referred to the year of adoption?
the oldest 20x120 I've seen 1904 made
regards

25.4 mm Palmkranz-Nordenfeld, 25,4x94R unfortunately not for the 25 x120Rmm .
I don't have any weapons (drawing or photo) for the 25x 120 cartridge (only a drawing of the cartridge case)
