Years ago, I read that a Tiger had shot itself with its own machine
gun slugs.

The pilot ha fired a burst while in level flight and then performed a
dive. That resulted in he plane running into its own slugs.
The article was in Aviation Week and they had pictures of the
nose of the Tiger, with the imbeded slugs


Dave:



Also happened to a F-100


And with a Hawker Hunter, per attached image.
