Wilbus, if you look at the cross-sectional area, mass, and initial velocity of the two projectiles and do some calculations, you see that the Hispano round has about 70% more kinetic energy initially, and it will slow down at a significantly slower rate than the MG 151/20. The Mauser should drop a lot more, and have a lot less mechanical power to penetrate and break things once it gets to the target.
What I'm complaining about is dispersion, not the arc of the shells or the damage they do on impact. Both of those factors are just fine IMHO.
