dont be so doubtful  :aok  And I recall reading somewhere they attempted mounting, I think, a 57mm cannon in the nose, stuck out some 7 feet though and had to have a counter balance in the tail... I'm trying to source that now.... but it was never operational in the sense that the 262 was.

Initially, two Me 262`s (Wk/nr 111899 & 170083) were modified to carry this new weapon


One of them crashed trying to make it to New Jersey.

The weapon was ineffective in trial.
