Re: Hurricane armament during the FC of 1940 & BoB
So magazines "1-6" would be for a 12-gun fighter? Does that mean that an 8-gun plane would only have 1-4? And which magazine goes to which number? No. 1 would be the innermost gun, and No.6 the outermost, right?
Do you think that they always loaded the magazines to full capacity? That would entail exactly counting the rounds, and making up belts of 338, 328, and 324 rounds, and then keeping them separate. Even if that was a worthwhile effort at times, how about during the frantic turn-arounds during the Battle...maybe it'd be quicker to just grab three 100-round belts, link them together, and toss them in each magazine? Just an idea.
