25mm Type 96 weren't very good light AA guns. Not even in the same league as the 3.7cm FlaK M42 or the Bofors 40mm L/60. And significantly heavier than the Oerlikon 20mm despite not being that much more powerful. They also had small 15-round magazines so their effective rate of fire was significanlty lower than it could've been.

10cm Type 98 DP on the other hand were arguably the best heavy AA guns of the war in any navy.
