Bf109E MG17 rate of fire - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Kryten · #1 9th February 2014, 11:45

Hi guys,
Does anyone have the actual rate of fire for the cowling guns on the Bf109E series, Trying to work out the reduction caused by the synchronisation gear.

Many thanks.

Try this page http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/WW2guneffect.htm Tony Williams is a noted authority on such things & table 2 on that page gives a rate of fire for the MG17 of 20 rps. Hope that is of some use.
Steve.
