Me too. It makes watching majorly lackluster. But anywho, I love your content, keep'em coming. I'm sure the Vietnamese prostitutes were saying the same thing. 😂😂

Excellent video and content. These items become rare and then companies that make video games with them, then screw up the stats. I appreciate you keeping history alive and showing the world what reality was.

Missed that you had a full video at first! Incredible stuff! Anything MK16 related is super rare, some of the scrapped kits are around with oilers, but manuals, mounts, etc are impossible as I am sure you know.

Additional note of interest - there are actually two versions of 20x110 Hispano in US service, not talking about 20x110 USN, but the original. We changed the shoulder spec at some point, I don't know when. This is most obvious comparing the earlier and later model dummy ammunition - the shoulder is different on them as well.

Oh heck yeah! Awesome video. If it would be possible to digitize documents like those manuals, those would be awesome to be able to read through. (Idk if they're available elsewhere) Going into detail about some of the different round types used by the platform would also be neat. And filming in the horizontal would also be welcomed. Either way. Awesome content. Thank you for making this available!

Amazing. Taking an electrically primed aircraft gun and making it percussion/manually primed is pretty interesting. Saw some similar stuff done with Luftwaffe 13mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 30mm guns at the end of the war when available guns far outweighed available aircraft and pilots. Thus, they made ground/manually primed mods to put the surplus guns to use in all kinds of weird mounts.

The 20 mm Oerlikon are still in use today. They must have found some spare parts and ammo since the 60s.

Autocannons are so very neat. Is this one going to a museum? If so I'd like to see it in person.

You answered in the video that it is going to a museum, I apologize for my early comment. Can you tell us what museum it's going to? I would very much like to see it.
