Common AC gun convergence

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

I'm having a hard time trying to believe that these rounds will fly 1000 m with no bullet drop..

 

When testing and finding the convergence was off, I found that there seems to be no 84 inch @ 500 m bullet drop for the MG's on the german AC.

 

for some reason the bullet doesn't drop all that much on any of the aircraft. average drop at 500 m should be 84 inches.

 

so how far can a 7.92 mm fire? 

 

ah ok I'm discounting the muzzle velocity.. 

never mind nothing to see here.

.308 will drop 60 inches or so at 500...I'd expect .50 cal to drop much less.

yea did some math and answered my own question, lol.

We do have a pattern/convergence issue though.

Much too little dispersion with the .50's on the Jug...I can't speak for Russian guns etc.

I’d have to look at a chart but it’s a big heavy round moving barely faster than a good 7.62 round. Why would it fall less?

Perhaps it wouldn't - I'm not aware of the velocity of those .50's.
