The aircraft armament is all wrong. It's going to take some time to sort through this. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:13, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Shipunov 2A42

The Shipunov 2A42 is mounted on the Greg Gates' combat plane.

The Shipunov is seen during the flight at the "Shin & Makoto - Finder of a Blue Sky" (Ep. 03).

The barrel of the Shipunov is partly seen on the photo at the "Truth - Truth of the Sand" (Ep. 11).

The A-4 Skyhawk uses either the Colt Mk 12 cannon or ADEN cannon. It depends on the variant or operator. Many air forces didn't want the Colt Mk 12. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30K

The combat palne of the female mercenary Kitori Palvanaff was equipped with the Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30K. Japanese mercenary, named Shin Kazama also uses the similar machine gun on his combat plane.

The slightly other view of Kitori's machine gun at the "Cross Over - Intersection of Solitude" (Ep. 06).

This a Mirage F1, so it's a DEFA cannon. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Shin Kazama about to fire the machine gun at the "Sand Glass - Sand's Bullet" (Ep. 08).

Kitori uses her weapon at the "Lock On - Wings of the Wind" (Ep. 12).

This appears to be an F-5/F-20, so it's a Pontiac M39. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Browning M2

Several mercenaries, include Kim Aba uses combat planes, which is equipped with the Browning M2 machine guns.

Browning M2HB - .50 BMG
Numerous machine guns can be seen at the "Boris - Tombstone of the Setting Sun" (Ep. 02).
Kim's machine gun is partly seen at the "Hungry Boy - Sweet Soldier" (Ep. 07).

These are Harriers. It's hard to tell the variant, but it's either an ADEN or General Dynamics GAU-12/U. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Breda-SAFAT machine gun

The Breda-SAFAT machine gun is mounted on the combat plane of the American mercenary, named Mickey Simon.

Breda-SAFAT machine gun - 12.7x81mmSR
Mickey Simon fires the machine gun during the battle at the "Fire Ball - Contrails of Destiny" (Ep. 10).

This appears to be an F-14, so M61 Vulcan. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

General Dynamics M197 Vulcan

During the prologue from Vietnam War, the General Dynamics M197 Vulcan is used by the Patrick Reed at the at the "Fire Ball - Contrails of Destiny" (Ep. 10).

General Dynamics M197 Vulcan - 20x102mm
The machine gun is seen mounted on the left wing of the Patrick's combat plane.

F-4, so it's an M61 Vulcan. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)


I would also add that the AA gun on three first screenshots in S-60 AA cannon section is too large for 57mm gun and has a different muzzle brake. The barrel looks similar to a 85mm Air Defense Gun M1939 (52-K) but other parts are drawn not very correct. --Greg-Z (talk) 14:35, 27 December 2019 (EST)

M240 Machine Gun

Twin M240 Machine Gun is seen mounted on the Shin's combat plane.

M240D vehicle and aircraft-mount version with spade grips - 7.62x51mm NATO.
Shin's machine gun...
...is fired at the "Sky Blue - Desert Wings" (Ep. 01).
The another view of the Shin's weapon at the same episode.
A good view of the Shin's machine gun at the "Boris - Tombstone of the Setting Sun" (Ep. 02).
Shin shot down enemy combat plane at the "Shin & Makoto - Finder of a Blue Sky" (Ep. 03).
Shin's combat plane is seen at the a few seconds later.

I don't know where you're getting these IDs. F-8, so also a Colt Mk 12. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:47, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Shin (for what ever reasons, his combat plane changes it's color to green) fires the machine gun during the battle at the "Lip Stick - Unyielding Rouge" (Ep. 05).

Because it's a different plane, with different guns. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:06, 27 December 2019 (EST)
