	Machine Guns - Maschinengewehre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Machine guns derive their limited armor-penetrating capability both from the single bullet's penetration ability and from the effect the repeated hits of bullets in quick succession - as is the case with a machine gun - onto the same spot have on thin steel plates.
		With the occupation of czechoslovakia in 1939 the germans captured 31,204 machine guns of the types ZB 1926 and ZB 1930, mostly the latter.
		The MG 81 was also originally an aircraft machine gun that was later used in the ground role when it was no longer used for the Luftwaffe just like the MG 15 and the MG 17 it had replaced as aircraft machine gun.

		The armament was limited to a pair of cowling-mounted MG 17 machine-guns, with the through propellor hub machine-gun being omitted due to cooling problems uncovered during the testing of the V4, V5 and V6 aircraft.
		Incorporated a pair of wing-mounted MG 17 machine-guns just outside of the undercarriage strut which required a few simple modifications to the wing's leading edge, and firing trials proved so successful that the new four machine-gun armament was adopted as standard for the later Bf 109C variants.
		Increased caliber of the MG 151 from 15mm to 20mm.

	Axis History Factbook: Messerschmitt Bf 109
		Early Bf 109F variants were armed with two MG 17 7.9 millimeter machine guns in the cowling and one MG FF 20 millimeter cannon mounted on the engine and firing through the prop spinner.
		The F-4/B was a Jabo machine with provision for 500 kilograms of bombs.
		It was also produced in a tropicalized G-1/Trop version, which replaced the MG 17 7.9 millimeter guns in the cowling with MG 131 13 millimeter guns for additional punch, in case the nose-mounted MG 151/20 jammed in hot weather operation.

		The Focke-Wulf design team was aware that the FW-190's armament was inadequate, having settled on the four machine guns due to temporary difficulties in obtaining heavier armament, and in fact the A-1 was basically regarded as an operational evaluation type that was not entirely fit for real combat.
		Replacement of the wing root machine guns with the cannon required fit of a shallow blister on the top of the wing near the fuselage.
		These machines were given a rear fuselage extension to compensate for the lengthened nose, which had been stretched to fit the Jumo 213 engine, and were armed with twin MG-17 machine guns in the cowling and an MG-151/20 cannon in each wing root.

	CMK 1/48 Resin Detail Sets
		The German MG 17 machine gun found its way into just about every military aircraft flown in the Luftwaffe, so this set could be used for a great number of kits.
		The other small parts in the set are for mounting the finished guns to the railings, with one piece holding the body and the other holding the barrel.
		Putting these two guns on the cowling of an Fw190, and with the rest of the CMK detail sets for the Fw190 you would have just about every detail accounted for.
