Seems to me the whole process is as cumbersome as the Jap 25mm AA reloading procedure.

Don't know about that, but at least the magazines had many more rounds.

The 20mm had a 200 round magazine. The 25mm had a 15 round magazine. Both had a high rate of fire but it would seem the Japanese spent A LOT more time reloading.
