F4U-4 guns..
« Reply #30 on: January 28, 2006, 02:22:23 PM »
Home now and did a quick check. .50s on the -4 destroy a fighter hangar with 2374 rounds. Exactly the same as the P-51D and F4U-1D. .50 on the M-3 does it with 2224 rounds.

Guns Placement F4Us

F4U gun placement had to be farther outboard on the wings in order to clear it's 13 foot, 4 inch diameter propeller (which was the worlds largest at the time the Corsair was manufactured).
