This is really from the gun?
I thought such stupidities do happen only with dumb translators here

Re: Hans Ulrich Rudel, Eat Your Heart Out!
He's referring to the weight of the shot.
the gun is 57mm, but is referred to as a six pounder. Old archaic british thing, along with cwt.

Re: Hans Ulrich Rudel, Eat Your Heart Out!
Yes, I know, but that's why I am so angry about it If he wants (as it seems) to bring the obscure 6pdr designation to metrocentric reader (such as me though thanks to SP I am well versed in various x-pounders) he should use gun parameter used in metrocentric circles, ie caliber, not transferring the gun designation to metric units as it's meaningless, if not even confusing. I get started any time I see it in translations (OK, comapred to 45mm pistols some translators are creating when tackling with .45 and so on, this is less serious but still it doesn't seem right).

Don't see a problem, he put the info in brackets. Some may want to know.
Prosit!

Re: Hans Ulrich Rudel, Eat Your Heart Out!
The most awesome thing about this is the all around 12.7mm armor. IIRC, the thickest armor on the IL-2 was only 7mm.
