italy was an axis country...how did they get enough .303s and .50 cals to put in there bomber planes? :headscratch:

I think Jolly meant that the 12.7mm (being equivalent to a .50 cal/.5 in) and the 7.7mm (equivalent to a .303) was the armament.  Simple use of metric system vice American ammunition caliber designation.
