	Colt Mk 12 cannon
		The Mk 12 was similar to the wartime Hispano HS 404/M3 used on a variety of American and British fighter aircraft, but it used a lighter projectile with a bigger charge for better muzzle velocity and faster rate of fire at the cost of hitting power.
		Nevertheless, the Mk 12 was standard cannon armament on gun-armed US Navy fighters from the early 1950s to the early 1960s, including the F4D Skyray, F-3 Demon, A-4 Skyhawk, F-8 Crusader, and A-7 Corsair II.
		The Mk 12 is not the same as the Pontiac M39 cannon used on the F-100 and F-101 of the USAF, despite the similar caliber.

		The Colt Lightning, and its older brother the Colt Thunderer, were double action revolvers manufactured from January 1877 to 1909 for a total of 166,849 revolvers.
		The Colt Lightning was somewhat smeared in reputation on the account that it sometimes malfunctioned, and its parts were not built to last long, unlike its Single Action cousin, the Colt Peacemaker.
		It may have been that the Colt Lightning was meant for trigger cocking more then thumb cocking, which made the problems in the first place.

	Hispano 20 mm cannon
		The Hispano Suiza 20 mm cannon was one of the most widely used aircraft weapons of the 20th century, used by British, American, French, and many other military services.
		The cannon was based on the earlier Swiss Oerlikon HS.7/HS.9 weapons, which Hispano Suiza manufactured under license.
		The U.S. Navy later replaced the M3 with the Colt Mk 12 cannon, while the British RAF and FAA went to the 30 mm ADEN cannon.

		The same design inspired the British ADEN cannon and the French DEFA, but American designers chose a smaller 20mm round to increase the weapon's rate of fire and muzzle velocity at the expense of hitting power.
		The M39 is a gas-operated, five-chamber revolver cannon, firing a 101 g (3.56 oz) projectile at a muzzle velocity of about 1,030 m/s (3,300 ft/s).
		The M39 is not the same as the Hispano M3 derivatives used by the Navy (as the M3 and the later Colt Mk 12 cannon) on aircraft like the A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader.

	Colt Mk 12 cannon - Definition, explanation
		The Mk 12 was an advanced derivative of the wartime Hispano HS 404 that had been used on a variety of American and British fighter aircraft during World War Two.
		Pilots of the F-8 Crusader over Vietnam, in particular, appreciated the presence of the cannon, but jams and stoppages were common, especially following hard, dogfighting maneuvers.
		Nevertheless, the Mk 12 was standard cannon armament on gun-armed Navy and Marine Corps fighters from the early 1950s to the early 1960s, including the F4D Skyray, F-3 Demon, A-4 Skyhawk, F-8 Crusader, and A-7 Corsair II.

		This was adopted by the Royal Air ForceRAF and FAA in 1941 as the '''Hispano Mk II''' and by the U.S. as the '''M1''' and incrementally improved '''M2''' (although American-made weapons had minor production differences that made them notably less reliable than their British counterparts).

	Hispano-Suiza HS.404 - Definition, explanation
		This cannon was based on the earlier Swiss Oerlikon FF S weapons, which Hispano-Suiza manufactured under license HS.7 and HS.9.
		The British Mk V and American M3/M24 weapons were lighter with higher rates of fire than the early HS.404 guns.
		In the post-war era the HS.404 disappeared fairly quickly due to the introduction of revolver cannon based on the German Mauser MG 213.

		The latter were limited to two large particle beam cannons, derivatives of the Makral Tszikatro 05 mounted on top of the Zentraedi Glaug, and two light lasers in the two gun clusters.
		The armament was then augmented with a missile battery in the shoulders, with a light SAM missile battery in an external launcher, and further with two 25mm autocannon, two 180mm Petard mortars, two flame-throwers and two 12.7mm machine guns.
		Because of the numerous barrels (12 in total) projecting from the front, the Tomahawk was a feared sight among the populace.

	The WWII Fighter Gun Debate: Postscript
		The F-4 and F-106 appeared without cannon, but like the USN the USAF had to change its mind because of combat experience, and during the Vietnam war cannon were installed in these fighters.
		An objection raised against rotary cannon is that the spin-up time is fairly long: It takes 0.4 sec before the M61A1 spins up to its nominal rate of fire, while a revolver gun reaches its nominal rate of fire after 0.05 sec.
		Hence the advantage of the rotary cannon is minimal or non-existent during a short burst.

		A set of two or four replaced the eight Browning.303 machine guns then the standard armament of British planes, requiring modifications to the wings of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane to mount it.
		By 1943, with the exception of certain Marks of Spitfire, fighter planes with Brownings were either upgraded or removed from service, and the RAF became a majority "all-cannon" force.
		The USAF introduced the 20 mm M39 revolver cannon to replace the M24, while the Navy instead combined the original Hispano design with a lighter round for better muzzle velocity in the Colt Mk 12 cannon.

		As something of an experiment, the conversion was fitted for short-field landings, with low-pressure tires and a drag chute fitted at the base of the vertical tailplane, allowing it to land in half the space of a conventional Crusader.

		The Pontiac M39 was a 20 mm revolver cannon developed for the United States Air Force in the late 1940s.
		The M39 was developed by the Springfield Armory, based on the World War II-era design of the German Mauser MG 213, a 20 mm (and 30 mm) cannon developed for the Luftwaffe, but not used in combat.
		The same design inspired the British ADEN cannon and the French DEFA, but American designers chose a smaller 20 mm round to increase the weapon's rate of fire and muzzle velocity at the expense of hitting power.

		Izawa’s report of mixed armament and early use of the 12.7mm machine cannon is bolstered by circumstantial evidence in post-war Japanese monographs which, while not primary sources themselves, were obviously written by authors with direct knowledge or access to primary sources.
		The power of the relatively unreliable 12.7mm machine cannon was combined with the great reliability of the less powerful type 99 machine gun.
		This version was in operation in Indo-China and Malaya early in the War; in Burma in October 1942; and, in the Southeast Area from late 1942 to mid-1943.

		Another drawback of the Gatling-type guns, which is essential for aerial combat, is that the gun requires some time to get on to the full speed (rate of fire) after the trigger is pressed.
		Add some powerful batteries to power electrical drive of about 4KWt (4+ horse-power), and the bulk of the gun itself, and you'll see that even the strongest man won't be able to carry this load, less to fire it with any chance to hit, due to extremely powerful recoil.
