Re: Wing 20mm Cannons on FW190

Since the interrupter gear for the cowling guns and for the inner cannon simply shut off the current to the guns as the propeller blade swept into each weapon's danger area, it didn't affect the performance of the a/c, but did slow down the cyclic rate of the synchronized weapons.
