I’m looking for data on aircraft gun accuracy.
So far I’m aware of .50cal AN/M2 accuracy being 4 mils for 75% of shots and 20mm AN/M2s with 3 mils.
I have some German data, even though I’m skeptical about how accurate they are:
100% accuracy:
MG FF 1.0 mil
MG 151/20 1.9 mil
MK 108 1.5 mil
MK 103 2.0 mil
I also remember seeing some data for the Soviet Berezin before, so I might be able to dig that up.
If you have more data to share, feel free to share.
Hey mate now I just spent some time trying to research this for just the 151/20 because you sparked an odd curiosity, and from a purely theoretical vacuum, the MG 151/20 should have a 1.4 mil dispersion, however as I said, this is in a vacuum, with purely theoretical numbers. I got most of the technical details as correct as I could but I did have to guesstimate two of them (cannon barrel external diameter which I used 50mm, and velocity variation, which I put at about 0.5%), all other information I was able to find online (albeit one was from just a facebook post, cant remember what one). Does that help at all? I’m not entirely sure if it does but I was curious enough. Since its 0203 here right now I cant be bothered calculating and researching the others as this took me a solid half an hour at least.
