Default Re: ME262 wrong guns?

no - the low velocity cannons were designed for anti-bomber use, the shells were called "mines" as they had a relatively high HE content despite (relatively) low velocity.

But the shrage musak installation would require to be high velocity for firing up into a bomber's belly, (roughly vertical to the velocity vector of the firer).

Cheers
