So one of my most hated film moments os when the writing team don’t know the difference between a cannon and a machine gun.
Yes it’s red tails where an American pilot takes 3 mk 108 30 mm cannon shells ,form an me 262 to the chest and carry’s on fighting lol
Each round having a similar amount of explosive as a hand grenade his cockpit and body would be destroyed.

As a counter in the Captain film it really looks like the prisoners have been hit by a 20 mm flak cannon. It’s a great film shows how a true story can be shown.
