Would certainly make it easier for the Me-163 with its low endurance.

It would. Interesting that they tested both, the SG 115 and the R4M on Me-163 B (SG 115) and A (R4M). They never came to the idea to replace the MK 108, wich indeed was a barely suited weapon for this plane, and combine R4M with SG 115. This could safe some 130-160 Kg!

that doesn't solve the fact that the -163 would be lucky to make it to the altitude of the bombers

Lanc, they didn't all blow up!

they weren't fantastically safe though

I'll take the same armanment the B25-H had.
Yeah that would pack a punch.

How about a P-47-n with four(or six if possible) short barreled Hispanos...You could at least hold about 175 rpg.
My other one would be a tail wheel P-39 with two extra .50's mounted below the nose. I would lenghthen the nose enough to stagger the top 2 .50's in order to carry about 500 rpg. Replace the 37mm with a 20mm Hispano. Carry the stock, pod mounted .50's on the wing.
And how about an 8 cannon version of the b25? Four in the nose, four in a pod under the bombay, plus the stock mgs on the side of the nose.
Twin 50's in the waist, and a 20mm in the tail.
The Spits got nothing on this...
Question.
Generally, was there a performance cost (i.e. rate of fire) for firing through the propeller arc?
I would put 8 HE 50.cal on the wings of my P-51 and four Hispano cannons around the nose.

Nice story...tell it to readers digest!!!
Dont you think that would degrade the performance of the P-51. I mean the Mustang was a good fighter, but already had trouble with the center if gravity, with the whole fuel tank in the center of it, and mounting four 20mm hispanos in the nose, in addition to eight 12.7mm's?! thats a hell of alot of fire power, but i dont think your aircraft would contend as it would with six 12.7mm or four 20mm.
ow about 6 20 mm cannon on a P-47? That would be hard to beat.
Yea and Im sure it would climb to 35k just fine... What a fat heavy bitch that would be...
Agreed I think the 51's armament was about where it needed to be.

Me I just like to go overboard, how bout 4 50cals on the wing but keep the cannons.
