That's OK, not everyone realises the effect of "darts theory" on fighter construction. In practice when the enemy was 7ft 91/4in from the gun a 100% hit rate was noted.I stand corrected from my previous post.

The P-40 and P-51 had extremely short gun barrels because they were air superiority fighters.
Is no one going to say that all the barrels were the same length? And that on the P-47 two didn't protrude at all. Does that make it only 3/4 of a fighter bomber, can you create an air superiority fighter with a hack saw? I need to know.
BS - P47 was designed as a air superriority fighter -fighter-bomber missions was never part of original AAC specification - which called for fighter outperforming possible enemies on high altitudies. It was excellent fighter bomber by accident - never really intended as it's primary role.The P-47's gun barrels protruded very far because the P-47 was intended as a fighter-bomber.

The P-40 and P-51's .50 calibers had the same length gun barrels as the P-47, and every other BMG M2 .50 cal. armed aircraft out there in that era.The P-40 and P-51 had extremely short gun barrels because they were air superiority fighters.

It's just that in some the barrels are more buried in the structure.
I just worry about the thought process.I am so getting a chuckle out of his post. I guess when I am shooting my AR or my K98s I can identify as a fighter-bomber because they have longer barrels. Then when I am shooting my handguns I can identify myself as an air superiority fighter. It is 2020 after all...

Well that would be an issue of "orientation" I don't really know whether these guys were actually fighter bombers or air superiority fighters by birth but as long as they were consenting adults I suppose its OK.Does it mean the ones that did protrude were just more excited?
In 1914 i can agree with that but does that make those that just dropped housebricks over the side heavy bombers ?I am so getting a chuckle out of his post.
