QF 2 pounder naval gun
The 2-pounder gun, officially designated the QF 2-pounder (QF denoting "quick firing") and universally known as the pom-pom, is a large calibre British machine-gun, used mostly famously as an anti-aircraft gun by the Royal Navy. The name came from the sound that the original models were reported to make when firing.
