Ordnance designations for Me410 question.
 
Hi all gents!

I searched, but failed to find corect and full info about ordnance designations for Me410.

What was that? Munition (.../M_), Rustsatze (.../R_), or Betrieb (.../B_)?

Bombs (bombracks), probably "Munition":
- Abwurfanlage 2xSC250 / 2xSD500 / 1xSC500 / 1xSC1000 in bombbay
- Schlossrahmen 8 x SC50 on bombbay
- Abwurfanlage Mittelflugel 4 x SC50

- Twin rocket lawnchers (WGr21) under wungs (for Bf110G-2 it was .../M5 designation)? Wat was designation of this widely used kit?

Forward firing guns (Umbausatze and Rustsatze):

- Waffenbehalter-151A, two MG151/20E in bombbay - .../U2
- 5cm Bk. in bombbay - .../U4

But what designations were for:

- Waffenbehalter-??? for two MK108 in bombbay - .../R2?
- Waffenbehalter-??? for two MK103 in bombbay - .../R3?

As far as I understood, 4 x MG151/20 in bombbay was pure frontline modification, built in very few numbers, and not built in Messerschmitt factories officially.

- Waffenbehalter-151 (not A, just WB151 as on Bf110G-2/M1) - two MG151/20 in "wanne" under fuselage - .../R4?

THx Pawel.

What is for WGr.21? It is the main problem. What was designation?

There was no special designation for it, or it is not known - according to Mankau book.

Because it was not a factory modification but a widly used field modification.
