Its interesting to note that a number of RAF B24's had the twin 50 in the rear replaced by quad 3.3 in a Bolton Paul turret. Does anyone have any idea as to why this was done?
at the time we were shitting out .303 ammo, but .50cal guns and ammo were like gold dust throughout the british empire, mostly because we didn't really like the .50cal
I hardly think the .303 harmlessly bounced off the Fw-190, unless it was the well armoured types. Spitfire Vs and IXs in the early days of Fw-190 introduction were getting kills against them ... albeit the Spitfire V had to rely a lot on luck ...except the H.F V at low level ...
