Title: Ammo count indication
Post by: RTGorkle on November 28, 2006, 04:01:18 AM

Did the fighters in WWII provide any indication to pilots regarding the amount of ammo they had expended / remaining?

For example, was there an actual counter for the number of rounds passed through a weapon, or some sort of electrical timer activated by the trigger button to record total firing time?

I'm thinking that those guys had nothing, and simply had to try to remember the cumulative time for which they had been firing.

I dunno, just guessing, too lazy to research.

Fanks.

IIRC some german fighters had a gauge that showed how much ammo was left... not an actual number sorta like a fuel guage....


Also some fighters used a different coloured tracer for the last few rounds (100 ?) but the nme figured this out and started to ralise that their opponent was low on ammo so (again IIRC) this was stopped...
