Thanks,I got some

questions about the operation of this gun.
Iīm familiar with the "ordinary" ways of bolts,gas pressure and so on but how does this electric thing work.
How is the mechanism that is the equivalent to the striker of an ordinary bolt configured?
I donīt understand how the mechanism works because of the movements of the breech and loading mechanisms.
That current must be really powerful to cook uf a round so that there are no microsecond delays,or were they using a special heat-sensitive primer?

While on the subject on German guns,which types were used post world war2,did the Mg 151s find their way into NATO or other countries?
The ADEN was developed from the MG108,I have heard but what about all the other flak or aircraft guns developed by Germany?

Regards/Magnus
