Fw 190A-1 MG 17 RPG

[greybeard]

Dear Sirs,

I'm trying to detect the historically true load of ammunition for the four machine guns arming the Focke Wulf 190 in the subvariant A-1.

In literature and on the internet I found from 850 to 1000 rounds for each of the four MG 17, but also 900 for the two cowling guns and 1000 for those at wing roots.

I wonder if it is possible to get a definitive value...

900 rds for cowl guns, 1000 rds for wing root guns.

That's odd. I've registered back in spring for free and downloaded a lot of stuff from then.

I think the free ride was because of COVID is now over as I got an email from Avialogs in September asking to reregister or something like that

Indeed, I get this message now when trying to download (after registration):



I can read the whole document, though, and captured the pages of interest.

Thank you again!
