The name "Zero" comes from the official designation, the Type 0 Carrier Fighter. The first production model of the A6M series was the A6M2, which had a 950 hp, Nakajima Sakae 12 Engine capable of propelling the "Zero" at speeds of up to 533 km/h. The A6M had an armament of two Type 99 20mm guns mounted in the wings and two 7.7mm MGs mounted in the nose. The Zero could also be equipped with two 60 kg bombs. 15 pre production examples were deployed to China with the 12th Air Group Fighter Squadron.

abstract	The name "Zero" comes from the official designation, the Type 0 Carrier Fighter. The first production model of the A6M series was the A6M2, which had a 950 hp, Nakajima Sakae 12 Engine capable of propelling the "Zero" at speeds of up to 533 km/h. The A6M had an armament of two Type 99 20mm guns mounted in the wings and two 7.7mm MGs mounted in the nose. The Zero could also be equipped with two 60 kg bombs. 15 pre production examples were deployed to China with the 12th Air Group Fighter Squadron. One of the reasons the Zero was so fast was the fact that in had practically no armor, with only a thin sheet of metal separating the pilot from the air around him. This thin armor was later exploited by Allied pilots such as the Flying Tigers. Another weakness was that most examples of the Zero had no self-sealing fuel tanks, so when it was hit, it ignited into a large fireball. Reinforcement of the rear wing spar was introduced on the 22nd A6M2. Designation changed from Model 11 to Model 21 following incorporation on folding wingtips from the 65th example. New aileron balance tabs introduced from the 127th aircraft. Installation of a 1,130 hp Sakae 21 with two stage supercharger in the following version, the A6M3, made it necessary to move the firewall aft by 20.3 cm (8 in), resulting in capacity of the fuselage fuel being reduced from 98 litres (21.6 Imp Gal) to 60 Litres (13.2 Imp Gal). Fuel consumption was much higher than before. The folding wingtips were removed – leading to allocation of a new ID code – and bringing a slight improvement in high speed agility. Ammunition capacity for the 20mm guns was increased from 60 to 100 rounds. There were also 560 examples of the longer ranged Model 22, fitted with a 45-litre (9.9 Imp Gal) fuel tank outboard of the cannon bay in each wing and which had the folding wingtips restored.
