The F86, Does it have the increased firing rate of the Browning M3 .50 cal MG's?
IIRC the Sabres used this weapon over Korea mostly (ignoring the 20mm GunVal project) and the M3 fired approx 1200 rounds per minute, compared to the M2, that fired about 750-800rpm.

I just tested it. Sabre has 270 rounds per gun (1620 total), and empties the guns in about 14 seconds, which makes the firing rate around 1200 rpm.

Yeah, after a number of flights in the Sabre, i concur Hehe..

Now i can see why some complained about the insufficient hittingpower of the .50 cal, at least over 35000 feet (less air, less combustion of the API round..)

Fun plane to fly tho! Although i the Mig15 seems faster, climbs better and is more maneuverable in almost every aspect of flight, which i guess is quite realistic compared to the early Alpha model..
