Re: CARTRIDGES EJECTION ON BF109

Hi Gilles,
Certainly the early 109G with the 7.92mm MG17 cowling guns retained its spent cartridge cases in the compartment under the cockpit. Also, cartridges that "cook-off" outside the barrel usually split along their length and do not show the impact mark of a firing pin. Cheers
