The article gave some interesting insights to the P51 abd P39...

For example: "...You had to fire in short bursts since holding down the trigger could burn out the gun barrels quickly. Further, short bursts would help you conserve ammunition since we had only about 30 -36 seconds of fire..."

I wonder if you could model that damge? (Burning out the guns...) Uh oh... There goes Raider

LOL, actually, I am doing a term paper on the P-51. This will be very helpful too. Thanks.

Hum...I have an idea about the guns overheating.
