That's a whole different concept than the early Japanese Zero pilots,
who supposedly used their 7.7 mm guns essentially as targeting devices
for the 20 mm.


It's worth noting that some mixed installations had very different
loadouts. The Bf 109E carried about seven seconds' worth of ammo for
the 20mm, but a whole minute's worth for the 7.92mm.
