Your reasonning is flawed :

You noticed a lot of pilot wound perhaps not because the 38 pil of it and the like are more prone to wound but because the others facing similar occurrence are already dead.

Think of it.

NOW THAT IS A WHOLE NEW ANGLE!:aok


Ive never had a PW in a 38 from a 20mm or above. Been killed yeah, but never wounded (As it should be). A 0.5 on some occasions does PW, but no where near as often as a .303. Thats what surprises me!

fear the .303

:p :aok :p :aok :p

this is the sole reason i dont fly the B38 and the mossie, instant pilot wound each time i fly it.

262 is the same.

i hate going for lancs with a 262 because i often get intant pilot wound... dam 303s

Ummm....first line of my post answers your query...never!:confused:

Have once had a PW as result of a burst from a 110. Took off one of my tails and gave me a PW. Does that count?? :lol :lol :lol
