The M35 was a fixed-mount for the M195 six-barrel 20mm automatic gun for mounting on the port (left) side of the Cobra. The M195 is a short-barreled version of the six-barrel M61A1 Vulcan 20mm aircraft gun. The M195 had a firing rate of 750-800 spm.
Due to the explosive muzzle blast from the M195 extra plating had to be installed on the left side of the aircraft. This plating was installed to protect the wiring, flight controls and fuselage.
The ammo was carried in two saddle tanks. One on each side of the fuselage.
