The 20P7 bunker was made from chrome molybdenum steel, had a thickness of around 30 cm and a weight of around 51 tonnes. There are six firing ports for the MG 34 machine guns and each machine gunner can quickly switch between three. It was designed to be used against infantry and lightly armored vehicles. 3 side-mounted angle telescopes and panoramic sight,which was located in the middle of the tower, were used for observation and target assignment. And MG-lafettes had also telescope for target shooting. The French JM Cloche and GFM Cloche were more advanced as the turret in these designs could rotate.
