I think its very clear that they "Could" carry 8 on each wing.. 4 of those tiny clip hardpoints with 2 rockets stacked very tightly vertically. My comment was that in Korea, the role of the F86 was to cover the loads of dedicated fighter bombers that were available and did not have the performance to tangle with Mig15's so I doubt very much an Op Order was ever issued that had Sabre's carrying ordnance if F80's, F84's etc. were also available.. One thing I'm not clear on is whether or not the A could carry them WITH its fuel tanks..or in Place of. The bombs could only be carried IN PLACE of fuel tanks on the A model.
