Is an HMG, not a cannon.[edit]

Hence the "MG" designation, as opposed to the "MK" of larger guns. G = Gewehr, gun. K = Kanone, cannon. Maybe some standards the MG151 and especially the 151/20 are "autocannons", but to teh Germans they weren't. To the Japanese, their Ho-103 12.7mm guns were "autocannons". The Germans used explosive shells in their 13mm MG 131; that's over the 12.7mm "cutoff" that many people use, yet we call that a "heavy machine gun". At what point does a 15mm gun become a "cannon"? What if it's firing solid AP shot, not shells? What about a 20mm firing solid AP shot/bullets? Some would call 20mm the minimum size for a "cannon", others say 13mm. I say it was a 15mm HMG developed into a 20mm cannon, just to make things simple; as far as the Germans were concerned, the MG 151, MG 151/20 and MG FF were all "machine guns" though.

Missing information on "MX" super mineshell with 25 grams of filler[edit]

Yeah, if you guys would not keep revising history, that'd be nice. They existed, maybe take a look at the source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.63.255.208 (talk) 08:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't given sufficient information about the source to enable others to verify it or its reliability. Please address this, or the information will be removed again. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 10:19, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
