The first machineguns aboard aircraft were in the WW 1 period. These fired rifle sized cartridges, such as the .303 Enfield or 8mm Mauser. These were of limited range and power. As the speed of aircraft increased, it was found that the rifle caliber guns were not adequate- and many began using cartridges in the .50 caliber range (widespread by WW 2). This doubled the effective range. The next step was the use of light cannon in the 20mm range. These fired an impact detonating explosive shell that would produce greater damage on impact with an aircraft.
