The Japanese Arsenal thread started by Charles Bronson (there has to be a story behind that name) brings other armament questions to my mind.
I know the Brit's had a .50 cal mg in production at the start of the war, and maybe a 15mm mg as well. I've read that they had a shortage of 20mm cannons (at least for a while) early in the war - did they try the heavier mg's in aircraft?
I think I saw the answer to this question on another post but I can't find it - why did the US continue to use .50 cal mg's up to the Korean war? I can understand using them in WWII but I think the US is the only country to arm their post war jets with mg's.
