MG FF ?

[MK108]

It is not a secret than the aircraft armament is my cup of tea ( French expression) (any malicious persons says i prefer whiskey)
so, sometimes i have some interrogations ...
On the draw we can see a MGFF with "trommel" magazine,
on the pic we can see MGFF ammos linked coming from Do217 N1.
Who can have détails drawings or photos where i can see a MG FF used with links.
Best regards, Dan

Hi MK 108,

my main thing is german aircraft armament and the referring ammo, too.

In Pawlas Waffen-Revue No. 15, Page 2359 yu can see the belt feeding system FF GZ 1-FF, wath its an Item I am looking for since ages and I think I'll never get one.

In the book "Flugzeugbewaffnung" by Hanfried Schliephake on page 199 there is a picture of a 2cm Belt filling machine, and if you look exaclts you will see thet it is for filling the FF belt with alternating ammo types, one AP and one HE. Also a never anywhere else seen item that my collection s waiting for.

I hope that helps you a little bit, that are the only pics I have about FF-Belt feeding.

cheers from Germany

Thanks your answer,

Yes, I mean this Banana Magazine.
I have one, but no technical dokumentation about it.

By the way, actually I am setting up a MG FF/M in the variation that is shown in the second banana pic.
I am nearly complete, but I am still searching the pneumatic recharge unit, even in relic condition.
If someone has such an item left, please contact me.

Thank you

cheers

I have allways problems with foreign language in german or in english, sometimes it's difficult for me understanding ...
this is bottle "Pneumatic" for MG FF, no ?
Best regards, Dan ?

Ähem,

moi francais est horrible, mais ici un truc "pneumatic" c'est une cylindre usee avec l'aire comprimée pour faire le culasse retard dans le mitrailleuse FF avant le tir.

tu compris?

salut murksburger

[murksburger]

this bottle is pneumatic, indeed, but i am not sure if its for FF.

What I need is the recoil cylinder

cheers
