The QF 3 inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft gun became the standard anti-aircraft gun used in the home defence of the United Kingdom against German airships and bombers and on the Western Front in World War I. It was also common on British warships in World War I and submarines in World War II. 20 cwt referred to the weight of the barrel and breech, to differentiate it from other 3 inch guns (1 cwt = 1 hundredweight = 112 lb, 51 kg, hence the barrel and breech together weighed 2,240 lb, 1,020 kg). While other AA guns also had a bore of 3 inches (76 mm), the term 3 inch was only ever used to identify this gun in the World War I era, and hence this is what writers are usually referring to by 3 inch AA gun.

(fr) QF 3インチ 20cwt高射砲（英: QF 3 inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft gun）とは第一次世界大戦においてドイツの飛行船及び爆撃機からのイギリス本土防空、そして西部戦線での使用で主力となった高射砲である。また本砲は第一次大戦時のイギリス海軍艦艇、そして第二次世界大戦時の潜水艦備砲としても一般的であった。名称の｢20cwt｣とは砲身と砲尾の合計重量（1cwt = 1ハンドレッドウェイト = 112ポンド、20cwt = 2,240ポンド）に由来し、他の｢3インチ砲｣と呼称される砲と区別するためのものである。本砲以外にも3インチ口径の高射砲が存在したにもかかわらず、第一次大戦期において｢3インチ｣といえば本砲のみを指す単語として用いられた。それが故に多くの書き手は本砲に言及する際に｢3インチ高射砲｣の名称を用いる。 (ja) 76,2-мм зенітна гармата QF 3-inch 20 cwt (англ.
