Re: Chin Mounted 20mm on the Bf 109

Bronc,

The Germans were not producing enough MG 151/20E , the version of the cannon using electrically primed ammunition and the production of the ammunition itself was also a problem. I assume all the available cannon were dedicated to Fw 190 production, though I have not looked at this issue directly.

Kind regards,

Dan
