Merging L35 and L30 here?
editIt seems like there's a substantial amount of overlap between these variants of the weapon due to the main difference being barrel length. For example they all served as defence against torpedo boats. Due to the short length of articles, it seems to me that they should be merged. It also appears that they all are found in the same historical sources so I'm doubtful that more significant and separate coverage could be found. Hopefully that makes sense.
Sidenote: If such a merge went ahead, the page name may have to be adjusted similar to the Flak 88 page. Techhead7890 (talk) 17:01, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
