LURKINGBADGER Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hy Soon we will have 4 ww2 aircraft. With new aircraft's we will also have new type's of caliber's/armement. I would like to geather any sort of information from used/developed/comisioned pruposed/rejected ammo types. Because i'm amazed how many idea's there where towards/in ww2 regarding. The topic WHY the Airforce's choose there armement they used is also important regarding which enemy they face'd and what they used to fight with. I would be pleased to see many documents from the internet/books or other sources to realy see what type's of caliber's/gun's there where regardless if those where in service or not. Stay polite Regards badger 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
