Post Re: CARTRIDGES EJECTION ON BF109

Quote:
Machine gun MG 15

Manufacturer: Rheinmetall Borsig

Country: Germany

Year: 1932

Caliber: 7,92 mm

Cadence: 1000 shots/min

Weight: 8,2 kg

Length: 1078 mm

The recoil loader with gas pressure support was installed in various observation and combat aircraft until the beginning of the Second World War. It fired the normal infantry ammunition. The MG was equipped with a 75-shot drum (also as a double drum), a case bag and a windvane sight. The windvane grain was always adjusted in flight direction by the airstream and made it easier for the shooter to compensate the deviation of the projectiles.
