Re: What were the weight savings from removing FW 190 outer wing cannons?

The RAE report on 5313, which can found summerized in the Swanborough/Green book on the 190, says 57kg for 2 MG FF cannons and 41kg for the ammo and mags.

I have also seen it claimed that the 115l aux tank was often removed to save weight in fighters but that the fighter-bombers kept it for some reason.
