Guns on fighters? by SKSvilich
All...I was wondering: have there been any guns-only air to air kills by US aircraft since SE Asia? As an aside, what are the thoughts of those who have been in combat? Are guns on board nostalga, or, are they a practical weapon? Thanks in advance. Stefan Humble Cessna Driver
