writes Much better to go with an M-61 variant that actually works, is combat proven, and has a useful rate of fire. Trouble is, this gets you back where the US was in 1950; the M3 .50" was a superb gun in terms of reliability, ballistics and rate of fire and was a thoroughly proven weapon. Trouble is, nobody convinced the MiG-15s of that fact, so they soaked up a _lot_ of hits where a larger-calibre weapon would have made the F-86 versus MiG-15 kill ratio even _more_ impressive. -- When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.
