Yes, the Me-262a-a1\U4 Pulkzersturer(bomber formation destroyer),Carried a long barreled 50mm cannon, this big gun protruded 7 feet ahead of the nose and slowed the aircraft by 15 mph,But provided sufficient punch to destroy any air or ground target it coult hit.evangilder said:50mm? In a fighter?

CharlesBronson said:I agree completely in the issue of ballistic curves. But remenber that Mauser designers was limitated by overall length of cartrigde that should be the same as 15 mm gun.
CharlesBronson said:Anyway the mine shell have a initial speed of 785 meters second and carry a lot of high explosives, more than Hispano 20 mm shell.
His only real defect was his nill anti-armour capabilities even in thin plates.

Erich said:do a study for the Me 410A's with the Bk 5cm and you maybe surprised as to the bomber successes of the Geschwader ZG 26. Yes 1-2 hits was very destructive to the Allied bombers as well as 3.7cm's used by Bf 110G-2s of the Zerstorers.
