I'm not sure if this should be put on Post-War, Modern-Era, or Technical because the Technical specs is largely for WWII related stuff, and the Crusader served in Vietnam, but I don't know if the Tiger did.
I was looking through the standard aircraft charts for the F11F (here) and F8U, and I found something kind of odd: Both aircraft have 4 x Colt Mk.12's with 125 rpg. As a result, one would assume their ammunition would weigh exactly the same, and yet from data listed on the F11F and data extrapolated from two sources (here, and here) on the F8U show the Tiger with 300 pounds for 500 rounds, and the F8U showing 327 for 500 rounds.
What's with the discrepancy?
