They started using higher velocity rounds in 1940 and tracers in 42.

Anyway it had poor range compared to newer 40mm or 37mm guns and British started license producing Bofors between 1937 and 40.

It's only thanks to the octuple mount that was fed from 140 round boxes which provided fire rate of 15 rounds per second, that this thing was effective for short ranges.
