Oh,
Well, I realized this morning that the Hurricane 2C has four cannons instead of two. I suppose most people who fly it much know that. I saw the single barrel on either side of the wing and didn't see the other gun until I was watching more films. I'ts clearly shown in the hangar as well. Whoops.
Regarding planes in the films, I don't believe any damage was done to the planes since I engaged them alone, flack wasn't there, and I had not fired any round into them. However, I now think two cannon rounds were certainly put into the spitfire and the Mossie took four, two to the wing and two in the fuselage. A canopy shot exploded the Mossie.
Again, this is something I noticed while 'popping' off wings and was compelled to point it out. I kind of expected a response of "yea, a couple of cannon rounds will take out any wing". Instead, the response was something entirely different. I wish 50 caliber rounds were 1/3 as effective, but they don't seem to be in my experience and I can live with that.
Since this thread was flawed from the onset, as pointed out, I will stop posting any more films. I intend to investigate this further, but I'll use a single cannon plane and have more film before I make any more subject statements. My apologies, and in the famous words of Emilly Latilla, "Nevermind".

p.s. Can someone explain how can you tell the F4U in the film took 15 hits? That might just stop all these types of posts.
