Re: What were the weight savings from removing FW 190 outer wing cannons?
"The RAE report on 5313, which can found summerized in the Swanborough/Green book on the 190, says 57kg for 2 MG FF cannons and 41kg for the ammo and mags."
I think that the weight stated for the cannons, was for the cannons alone, since each weighed 28kg, without taking into account all the ancillary equipment that the cannons needed to function. These would include the mountings, the wiring, the hot-air ducts, the cockpit rounds counter, as well as the air bottles with their plumbing.
