Twin FN30 flexible aircraft guns
« on: March 14, 2008, 06:15:57 pm »

Don't know where this goes so here will do until it gets moved ;D.

I'm after some detailed pictures and information on the Twin FN30 flexible aircraft guns.
Any help will be appreciated.

Jay,

Would it be fair to assume that the hand grip was 5 - 5.5 inches and calculate the other dimensions from that using the photos?

Just a thought

3rd picture up Martin, you can just about see the trigger to the left of the handle on the bottom of the casing.
