Were smaller cal weapons REALLY this bad?

I took a TBM up for a 'scrap' last night, and with those two .50s, I nailed 3 N1Ks, and 2 TBMs in one sortie. If your shooting is true (And from d150 it was hard for me to miss...) even light MGs will do MAJOR damage.

This never happened.

I can't understand why people try to impress fellow cartoon pilots with made up stories...

And before you now lament "How can you you dare!":

You killed three N1k this tour, but in three different sorties and in three different planes, not in a single TBM sortie.

Have you checked the stats in time? I can give you the guy's name too.

I have checked stats before posting of course.

One kill of N1k in TBM
One kill of N1k in P47D11
One kill of N1k in P47D25

Where exactly did you get those stats? For some reason on my computer the scores page won't open. My internet crashes anytime I try.

lmao, really =)

guess what I killed WMlute 2 times in same sortie in his 110G2 and me in yak, next sortie I killed his nik (got 2 times cmustard also lol)

wait...I lied

on the topic of small caliber, it really depends where you hit, you can kill 2 fighters (or more, see Fariz) with 100 12mm bullets, just need the bullets concentrated on one point.

I was watching an episode of Dogfights and they showed a 190 shoot every thing it had into a p-47 and the p-47 pilot flew the thing all the way back to base.

we have like 10 threads covering this in here.

EDIT : I've been looking for one, couldn't find it.
you say

a 190 shoot every thing it had into a p-47

lucky that the 190 was out of 20mm (no cannon impacts were found on the P47 afterwards IIRC), that illustrates the 7mm efficiency.

A 20mm is what kept Johnson from bailing out of said plane. A 20mm hit just behind the canopy frame jamming it with the twisted metal. There were numerous 20mm hits to the armor behind his seat as well. He was lucky for the strong airframe and armor plating and that there were not more enemy fighters around. He also had to pull the rudder cables by hand since they had been severed in the hail of bullets. (I think it is this sortie...could be wrong) His book, Thunderbolt!, is a good read.
