Кстати сам твой термин «стандартные барабаны», какой-то нелепый, не находишь? 
С Уважением |
Да, согласен, но я подразумеваю под этим обычный барабан на 60 снарядов.
Вобщем покопался я в инете и понял, что может я был неправ, и ставили по 120 снарядов на ствол, но опять-таки в разных источниках по разному.
В наших рускоязычных, где попадаются нестыковки и опечатки - вообще написано, что по 140 снарядов
, в других - по 60.
Вот что нашел про 4 пушки на Спите 9 у товарищей англичан:
In the initial production, all Mk. IXs were equipped with the "C"-type wing. This wing could carry both cannon and machine gun armament, and is often associated with four protruding cannon barrels often seen on the Mk. VC.
However, because of the weight restrictions caused by the use of the more powerful - and heavier - engine, the Mk. IX could not carry the full complement of four cannon, and all production machines were equipped with two cannon (located in the inboard bays) and four machine guns.
The abandonment of four-cannon option on the Mk. IX had two consequences. First, the "leftover" wing cannon mount resulted in the short stub outboard of the cannon barrel, plugged with a solid rounded tip. Later on, as it has been realized that the the second cannon bay will never be used, the stub was removed altogether, as seen on this photograph.
The second consequence was the shape of the upper wing blisters. These blisters were introduced to provide sufficient room for the ammunition drums of the Hispano cannon. Initially the "C" wing used a single wide blister covering the twin cannon bay. As it was realized that only one cannon was necessary, a new blister was introduced to the Mk. IX production line. This blister was narrow and elongated, and can be seen on the wing photograph in The Airframe section of this essay.
Still later, the wing was modified to the "E" type. Structurally, this was identical to the "C" wing, but adopted to carry two 0,50" machine guns in place of the four 0.303" Brownings.
