This is interesting.  Did not do any research on how often B-25h used this set up or experimental but perhaps somebody can shed some light on it.

This was one of my finest 30-mm shots when I mucked around with the G-14 many years ago:-

That naughty Mr. Joach1m never even gave me a mention in the credits  :old:

Can catastrophically miss with Hispanos though. Too much lead I expect, the Ho-5 plops it's pellets out a bit slower.
Sorry shida lol

Coastal Command Mosquito Mk XVIII of 248 Squadron showing the size of the QF 6pdr carried in the nose, minus the gun carriage. This was also called a 'Molens gun' named for its manufacturer.  They were used against U-boats then replaced by rockets.  Take notice of the barrel sticking out under the Mosquito.

Thought so.

There was no production D-12s so must be a D-9. Notice the II Gruppe marking.

Although,  it would be something if the 190-D variants got up to the 20s.
