The answer depends entirely on the skill of the pilot. Some pilots were deadly accurate shots and superb pilots and could down an enemy aircraft in a couple of short bursts. Others weren't so skilled and could empty an entire drum at an enemy plane and succeed in only creating new ventilation holes.

For example: French ace Rene Fonck fired 56 bullets and succeeded in bringing down 6 German aircraft in one day. A lesser pilot would have spent an entire drum of 500 bullets to bring down this many airplanes.

How does an aerial dogfight look?

That is a good question because there are no photos or movie footage of an actual WW1 dogfight involving several aircraft. There were some photo published that was said to be photos of a dogfight but the experts proved it to be a fake. There are probably many verbal accounts by pilots of their experience in a dogfight. But it is difficult to get an idea of the distances and expanse of the battle. Were the aircraft in close formation? Did the aircraft keep in a tight "fur ball" (using verbage from WW2 pilots)? One famous dogfight that had several eye-witness accounts was the last dogfight with Werner Voss while he was flying a new Fokker Dr.1. This dogfight was a little lopsided--- 7 British against 1 German---so I don't consider it an example of a dogfight involving multiple aircraft. In this battle, the British were taken by surprise at how agile the Triplane was and how it could make a flat turn to turn his guns on his attacker. Many aircraft in the early war could easily stall. So, many aircraft probably fell out of combat early in the battle. This would lead to a quick end of the battle as the aircraft became seperated.


What symbol was on the red baron's plane?

The Red Baron did not use a symbol. Instead he painted his airplane entirely Red so he would stand out with the enemy and with his fellow airmen. However, he did NOT paint all his planes all-Red. His first was an Albatros D-III. Then he flew the Fokker Triplane but not just one. The last one he flew was all RED. The highest scoring ace of Austria-Hungary painted his Albatros all Red just like the Red Baron. But he painted Skulls on his plane. He painted relatively small skulls just behind his cockpit: one on the left, one on the right and one on the top.


What was the Advantage and diasadvantage of the Triplanes?

The Fokker Dr.1 was limited in its airspeed to 103mph. This was due to the additional drag from the 3 wings that were close to each other. Their main advantage was their superior maneuaverablity in a fight. The three short wings allowed the triplanes to be more maneuverable and have a much higher climb rate. Shorter wings allowed it to roll about the fuselage axis much faster. If it wanted to turn, the triplane would roll on its side and pull a tighter circle than the standard biplane. In addition, the Fokker was able to make a 180-degree turn without banking(flat turn) in just a few seconds. When Werner Voss fought his last dog-fight with 7 British SE-5's, the British pilots said they were chasing Voss at one moment and then in the next instant he would be flying directly at them. The Sopwith Triplanewas different from the Fokker in that (a) all 3 wings of the Sopwith were the same chord dimension(narrowest part of wing), (b) the space between the wings was greater (with respect to wing chord), and (c) each wing of the Sopwith had control surface. The disadvantage of the Fokker was its short fuselage and large hoizontal tail during landing. Just as the a/c flared to land, the tail surface would stall out and airflow from the main wings would not flow over the tail. Thus the pilot had no tail control just prior to touchdown. Custermen


How long does a Spitfire's ammo last in battle?

The Spitfire had 8 Browning Machine guns each with a 300 round magazine firing just about 1200 rpm. Full on guns a blazing would give it about 15 seconds of fire...give or take a second or two.


How do you last forever on Nazis zombies?

Well theres a significant amount of glitches for example: the wall glitch on the 2nd floor. There are grenades above your head and the objective is to get stuck in the wall so zombies cant att u and u keep buying grenades and throwing them..without ever dying..another way is to try to get a flamethrower because it is unlimited ammo..

What is the name of the red barons engine in World War 1?

Richthofen started flying as a pilot of two-seater observation planes. After he switched to single-seat fighters he flew several different types, including the Fokker Eindecker, an early monoplane, but he was credited with no victories flying the Eindecker. After joining the great German Ace Oswald Boelcke in Jasta 2, in one of the first fighter units ever formed, Richthofen began to score flying an Albatros D.II, powered by a 160 HP Mercedes D.III in-line six cylinder engine. This aircraft was gradually replaced by the Albatros D.III, powered by a Mercedes D.IIIa 170 HP inline, water-cooled engine. Richthofen scored most of his victories flying an Albatros D.III. German aircraft manufacturer Fokker, inspired by the British Sopwith Triplane, produced the Fokker Dreidecker DrI. Richthofen's Flying Circus had two of these machines. Richthofen had one painted in his signature all-red paint scheme and flew it quite a bit in his late career, racking up his last twenty victories in the triplane. He was in the Dreidecker on his last flight. The powerplant of the DrI was a 110 HP Oberursel Ur.II 9 cylinder air-cooled rotary engine.


What is the longest lasting dogfight?

10 Minutes is the longest dogfight in Air Combat History, Most dogfights last anywhere from 45 seconds to about 2 minutes before an opponent is shout down or gives up and goes home. The dogfight that lasted the longest was 10 minutes inthe Vietnam War between a Marine F-4 Phantom and a Mig 17. The F-4's guns jammed and while he was unable to shoot down his enemy, he still enganged. After a grueling 10 minute dual, both planes low on fuel, disenganged and returned to base. Though no kill ws made, this dogfight is studied at Flight School, by the US Navy and Airforce.


Life of 9mm Pistol ammunition?

If it's stored properly, it can last a very long time. If it's ammo that has not been stored properly, or if it's ammo that is carried daily, it can sometimes (but not always) devolop problems in a year or two. Many trainers and instructors suggest that you shoot up your carry ammo every year or so.


Is there an ammo glitch in The Last Of Us Online?

Yes there is. Fire two or three shots from your revolver as soon as the online match starts. Then when you open your first supply box the game will give you additional free ammo because it thinks you have been in a firefight. If you do this, you don't need to equip your characters with the 'Starting Ammo' perk for extra bullets.


Is there a speech from Ellie about wasting ammo in The Last Of Us?

What kind of ammo for the savage 300 lever action model 99E?

.300 Savage. This ammo is getting harder to find. You used to have a choice of 150 or 180 grain bullets. The last few years I have only seen the 150 grain offered. If you want to buy online I know Able Ammo does carry .300 Savage. It's a good caliber. I have taken several deer with the same rifle you have.
